Has anyone done this, a buddy of mine gave me some music in FLAC format, so I am just curious how that works.
Got a tip for us?

FLAC is lossless so to preserve the audio quality yu should convert directly to Apple losses format. If you don't care about audio quality you can convert to MP3 AAC or whatever
