I for one do not know the significance of flac format but glad it is good.
What I would like to know is if I can burn to CD albums I purchase in the
iTunes store.

Hello everybody

It would appear, and I discovered this quite by accident, that iTunes can
now play .FLAC format tracks directly, without any form of plug-in
whatsoever. This, for us at least, is a huge huge break-through, as it's our
format of choice and has been for several years.

I've just tried playing an uncompressed FLAC track, and it worked perfectly.
Oh, Wow! Now we can have our entire album collection in our iTunes library,
and do away with the horrible old MP3 and even the M4B versions with the
exception of purchases.

The next logical thing, therefore, would be for us to join some or one of
the growing number of commercial websites now selling music legally in .FLAC
format. I need to see whether iTunes can be persuaded to treat a cue sheet
as a playlist. But, if it can, that would be even better as it would allow
us to use our album files, rather than having everything in individual
tracks.

I'll experiment with this and report back. Oh yes, and my apologies to those
for whom this information may not be new!

Warm regards

Lynne
