Convert FLAC Files To iTunes Compatible

Can anyone offer a simple practical method for importing my extensive CD collection, currently stored in a FLAC format on my PC, into iTunes?

Windows, Windows 10

Updater,

iTunes cannot do it directly, so get a 3rd party converter program. One good choice is Switch Audio Converter ( https://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html ) which if I recall correctly was free to trial, $30 to buy.


Note that the conversion process creates a new file in the requested format, and leaves the original (FLAC in your case) in place. You can decide if you want to keep, archive, or discard the originals.
