Playing/converting FLAC files

[Dan Turner]

Hi - I've just downloaded the new Massive Attack EP in FLAC format. Does anyone know if there is a plug-in for iTunes to make it compatible with FLAC? Alternatively is there any freeware out there for converting FLAC to WAV or AIFF or something like that? Or failing that any freeware for playing back FLAC files? Windows Media Player didn't seem to like them either.

Thanks.

Dan , Google FLAC in WMP it's quire straightforward to get them to play. Sorry nothing for Itunes as far as I know but don't know much about Apple products.

Quote from the FLAC website "Sorry, due to iTunes' design we can't add FLAC support"

You can download dBpoweramp http://dbpoweramp.com/dmc.htm which will convert FLAC files to supported formats or even you could download the FLAC frontend http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html which I think will convert FLAC to WAV and visa versa.
