Convert FLAC into something that iTunes can play

[admin_exported]

Title says it all really. Using Windoze, is there anything out there that will convert FLAC into say, Apple lossless or something that iTunes can read while still maintaining a decent bitrate

Use DBPOWERAMP on Windows to convert to ALAC.

Stupid question....i'm thinking of doing this as well.

I assume there's no less in sound quality by doing this. Also, I assume that I could convert back to a .wav file at a later date to burn to CD with no loss of quality?

You assume right on both. As long as you convert to a lossless codec, the sound will be the same (there will be some that differ on this but there you go!). Also, if your cd player can play WMA files, you can burn to WMA Lossless as well.

You can also download the free FLAC encoder/decoder software to decompress the FLAC to WAV, and then play/convert in iTunes.

just by the by, i think dbpoweramp will require payment after 20-something days. Mine does anyway. But if thats enough time to do it all, its all good.

I use Foobar2000 to batch convert to mp3 from FLAC for use on my ipod etc.
