iTunes FLAC to Apple Lossless?

[Ravich]

I remember looking into this a while back and seeing that the process was incredibly complicated and I gave up. Is there an easier way to go about this now? I'm wondering if I can stop adding MP3s to my library, and FLAC files are rather bulky.

What exactly do you want to do? Convert FLAC to Apple Lossless? If that's what you want, then Max should do the trick. Rather simple too.

Don't use Max, it's major confusing.

This is as simple as it gets. Converts to AIFF, you can drop it into iTunes and then convert to AAC, but AIFF is lossless. The only advantage to AAC, then, is size.

AAC is different from Apple Lossless, isnt it? ALAC you mean?

I dont particularly care how it happens as long as it is lossless and the track information and such is retained. Does AIFF retain that sort of info? I know that WAV does not...

Get a program called XLD. It will do FLAC to ALAC and a whole bunch of other things. Free, and easy.
