I just bought and downloaded a high res music file in FLAC format. It is in my Music folder on my MAcBook Pro but it does not show in my Apple music when I open the app. I want to convert it to AIFF but can't do this because the file is not showing in my Apple library. Can anyone help me do this?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Moedee,
One that i have not personally used but have seen mentioned on this forum in the past is XLD (the X Lossless Decoder for Mac). Worth checking out.
Also, not sure which online source you are using for the HD tracks, but some of them have additional format options including WAV or ALAC, which would save you a conversion step.
Moedee,
Back in the day, I used to like the Switch Audio File Converter: https://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html
Moedee,
iTunes/Music does not have the ability to play or convert an FLAC file. You will need to use a third party converter to convert it into a compatible format.
Thank you. Is there a third party converter you would recommend?
Thank you for the referral. I will check it out. Any other converters you could recommend?
Much obliged for your assistance. I will check the referrals out.
I've used XLD for years. Accurate, quick and free
