Seems like I used hours trying different apps (apple) to listen to the HD tracks un coverted (seems like the one coverter that was mentioned earlier was a windows only program...or I just couldn't find the Mac version).
Anyway, first try was VLC of course but that put the tracks out of order alphabetical) and I couldn't find a way to make a play list and it wouldn't go to the next track without me having to select and push play again... Then I tried an app called Player Extreme and that took my entire library and showed it as one long list ( although I think I could narrow it down to artist, I couldn't get it to just show the album) strike two.
After using a bit more time searching for HD audio players (seems like most of the apps I found were geared more towards video
with hi def audio) I found one called VM player HD and that allowed me to import the unconverted HD tracks and make a playlist out of the folder (easily).
So after a weekend of frustration (when I finally got the player problem solved I didn't have time or solitude enough to listen to it the rest of the weekend
) I am finally listening to DT 12 in HD and enjoying the hell. Out of it
