iTunes and Fluke

I've installed the latest Fluke version but when I added my music folder to iTunes (the folder is on a networked drive) it only added the MP3's and completely ignored all the FLACs. There doesn't seem to be any settings for Fluke since when I launch it, it just ends up launching iTunes.

So... what am I missing? Is the problem that my Music folder is on a network or is there some configuration that I missed? Or a third cause?

Thanks for any help/insight you can give.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.7)

Fluke hasn't been updated in almost two years now and clearly has been abandoned, so it's quite possible that it's not compatible with the more recent versions of iTunes. From what I can tell, though, it doesn't automaticaly add your FLAC tracks to iTunes. You have to open up a FLAC file with Fluke (or drag your FLAC files to the icon) and it automatically runs a script that tricks iTunes into adding a FLAC file to the library.

If that doesn't point you in the right direction. perhaps someone here can offer some suggestions to get it working, though.

Regards.

Thanks for that 🙂

I've decided to just convert my FLAC to ALAC. It may take a while to do 100gb but thats what quad cores with hyperthreading are made for. In the end, same difference right?
