Flac on Mac
This is probably not the right forum because I know that Apple will never add support for Flac in iTunes. But I don't know where else to post my question:
I have a MacBook Pro, tons of music (700Gb) in the format of Flac, a Squeezebox Server system and an iPod. First of all, I do not want to convert all my Flac files to Apple Lossless because Flac is natively supported in my Squeezebox and because Flac is the de-facto lossless format (when I by music on the web I always download as Flac). Converting to Apple Lossless would be time-consuming and - to me - ridiculous, because as said the Flac format is the all around regarded lossless standard codec.
Now my problem is that I would like to use my iPod for listening to music. As said iTunes does not recognize Flac, and I have found no other software that does recognize Flac AND support transferring music to iPod with on-the-fly converting to mp3 or acc. Do I have any other option than sell my Macbook and go back to Windows?
