Lars Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Follow these instructions for flac playback. One of our friends asked about this earlier today.

One and a half Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 The way to add Album Art.. ever faithful Amazon.com lookup the Album, save the picture, get info tab in iTunes, add manually.... sigh, or use TuneUP. If you have another player other than iTunes capable of reading m4a ALAC & Flac (Foobar2000, Audirvana, JR Media Centre etc) and your flac files are in the same library as pseudo ALAC files (created by PM), you end up with duplicates of the files. Only by looking at the bitrate, you'll know which one is the real FLAC file. Also...iTunes by itself (without PM starting) won't play the PM pmbmf files, so you can't use your Airport Express, unless there's a button i've missed somewhere? Yes, nice to play FLAC in iTunes, but the process is messy. The duplication is not kind, so, drag out MAX to make ALAC files and have duplicate FLAC masters on your Hard Drive in another folder and the ALAC files in the standard place where iTunes can find them. This method at least can save the cover art at the time of Max conversion and you can use Airport Express in iTunes standalone mode. FLAC advantage in iTunes...? Bit of a fizzer.
