unable to decode flac files on mac

I am trying to convert 24-bit files from this thread which is now inactive
http://www.thetradersden.org/forums/...ad.php?t=74548
The seeder has a 16-bit recording of the same show,
and I can decode the 16-bit version successfully.

I have tried MacFlac (v2.2.1), xAct (v1.58), XLD (v117.0).
I am using Mac OS X v10.3.9.

I get this error from MacFlac
ERROR while decoding data
state = 6:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_UNPARSEABLE_STREAM
xAct uses MacFlac code, so it gives the same error.
XLD freezes without finishing or giving an error.

Another person on this thread got the same error I did,
and corrected the problem by decoding with Trader's Little Helper,
which is not available in a Mac version.

This is the first time I have had conversion problems with the software I use.
Is the problem because of trying to convert 24-bit files?
Are there any other Mac conversion programs?

Thanks so much!
