What has bugged me for a while is that iTunes does not natively support FLAC files. This mean I would be forced to re-encode all of my CD's to Apple's Lossless Format one by one. After searching for a While, I came across
Fluke. This tiny app imports FLAC files into your iTunes library as Quicktime Audio Files. I would still recommend converting these files to Apple Lossless Format after importing them, because this way they can be synced to you iPod/Apple TV, but it is much faster to simply import, and then leave converting overnight. The way it works, is you simply open the FLAC files with Fluke, which will in turn ask you if you want to import them to iTunes. Say OK, and it will begin importing them. Once it is done, they can be played from iTunes just like any MP3 or AAC file. If you want to sync them to an iPod, simply select them and tell iTunes to convert them to any of its supported formats.
To use this, the easiest ways I have found, is to set your computer to open all FLAC files with Fluke, or to put Fluke in the Dock, and just drag the files you want to open onto Fluke's icon.
Let me know what you think after you try it.
