iTunes: Import FLAC files indirectly
Apple unfortunately does not support FLAC. However, there are 3 ways you can work around the problem:
- Programs like the Lossless Audio Converter convert FLAC files to Apple's ALAC format. The music remains lossless, but according to Apple's rules.
- The free Freemake Video Converter also converts your FLAC files into numerous other formats. With formats such as MP3 or AAC, however, you can only achieve a maximum of 320 kbit / s.
- If you only want to play the FLAC files, you can also use other software. The free VLC media player also plays almost all audio and video formats.
