I use iTunes for my music, but now that I have more space to store shit I figured I'd start downloading FLAC files, but iTunes doesn't play 'em. I use a Mac, so if anyone has any suggestions that'd be sweet.

i can't justify keeping flac files because of the space, but Toast Titanium will play the files, although it is actually cd burning software, not music playing software. personally, i'd rather use Toast to create a disc image of the flac album, mount it and use itunes to rip the music to mp3 at a 320 bitrate. i can tell 128 from 160 but at not 320 from flac so the trade off is a good compromise.

This is what I use: Download all2lame from http://members.home.nl/w.speek/all2lame.htm download lame from the same website. Download flack codec from http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html install flac open all2lame, click locations add lame.exe and flac.exe (it is in the folder where you've installed flac in the first place. Open files, click encode and you're done.

Get flac codec for nero then burn them to cd's with the codec you wont lose any quality and save space by burning them to cd and the cd should have no problem playing in itunes. I've got the windows nero codec but I think you need a different one for toast in mac. I'll see if what I can find it was tricky finding the one for windows.
edit: Toast 7 Titanium supports .flac no extra codec needed.

Audio
Toast 7’s native support for open-source Ogg Vorbis and lossless FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec) files means you no longer need to convert such files to another format before burning. In my tests, burning a live concert in FLAC format worked perfectly, and the resulting discs contained music that flowed flawlessly from song to song. Roxio also has improved the Music DVD feature, which now lets you create a DVD disc with up to 50 hours of music that will play on most recently manufactured DVD players. This new version allows you to burn more music on one DVD, and gives you the same menus as DVD video discs, shuffle play, and more.

Space isn't a problem, that's why I wanna start downloading FLAC. Otherwise I would just download the MP3 versions of shit.

I use foobar2000 to play flac files. Using FLAC is only an advantage if you have a good sound card and a nice pair of headphones.

yeah, but how much integrity of the music is lost once you convert flac to mp3? is it very noticable? or only slightly?
edit: the xAct audio converter won't work with my computer. Is there any other program you could recommend?
I just got some shure headphones, and I'm trying to up the quality of my music, but still have it so I can have it on my mp3 player... so....
