Feel free to move this if it is a better fit somewhere else.

Thanx!

Yeah. Or you could use Max (free) and do it in 1 step, retain all metadata, automatically add to iTunes and even add album art while you're at it. And Max is fast fast fast. Like convert an entire album in 45 seconds fast.

Or you could use XLD that supports not just ALAC but a variety of formats! Cross encoding also supported with Album Art and cue files as well.

I agree. This is what I use. One thing I really like about XLD and it is a small thing, is you can tell it what you want for size etc of the graphic file it is going to embed. I know it is a small feature, but it is something I really like.

Ya thats about the same as iTunes.

I converted a couple albums with max and lost my tags, that's why I made the tutorial.

I must of done something wrong then.

I use dBpowerAMP. WAV, ALAC, FLAC, mp3, AAC, etc... it retains tags so I convert lossless to lossy and lossless to lossless without ever losing my tags.

XLD is the best thing since slice bread. It's the one app i truly miss when using Windows EAC and dBpowerAMP just aren't as good.
