	Now that you've properly (IMO) configured XLD you can save your settings and set up profiles. To set up profiles find the "Profile" dropdown in the XLD menu bar at the top right. (See the first illustration.) Saving profiles is especially useful for saving transcoding ~~confguration~~ settings. For example: you may want to save your rip settings as "FLAC" in your profile manager. Underneath those settings you may want to save preconfigured profiles for, say, your MP3 V0 transcodes or AAC at iTunes Plus settings. Have fun with that. It makes for fast and convenient switching for all your needs.		Now that you've properly (IMO) configured XLD you can save your settings and set up profiles.

Here's mine below. YMMV. If it is important to you to burn a CD from your rips that matches the exact offset of the retail disc then you must calculate the correct "Write samples offset" and enter the value.

			To find the write offset of your cd/dvd drive, XLD suggests the following:

			"Note that the verification process requires an offset correction, so both read/write offset value (in CD Burn pref) should be set correctly for the exact match. Otherwise the verification will fail. If you are not sure about the write offset of your drive, burn an AccurateRip verifiable image with the write offset 0, and rip the burned disc with the correct read offset. Then, the AR report will suggest offset values, and the relative one will be the write offset."
