Thomas,
Thank you for the input and for joining this forum. I'm glad to
assist in any way possible. I will post one of my files to a web-share
site so you can download it and send you the link. (The file length of
all of my FLACs are to large to email.) Perhaps you could open a

Hello,
Here is a small clarification about the way TwistedFLAC works with
metadata.
First, I'll precise that TwistedFLAC works in both ways. The FLAC files
are visible as WAV files, but if you drop a bunch of WAV files to the
TwistedFLAC folder, they are automatically converted to FLAC files.

Not sure what went wrong. I have all of my tags but no artwork. I can
live with that.

Hi,
I installed twistedflac and was amazed about this tricky piece of
software.
But importing the twistedflac-"drive" in iTunes they were completely
untagged, only the filename is shown.
The FLACs were all tagged by MediaMonkey.
What has gone wrong?

I tried this, and it works great with one issue that maybe someone can
help me with. When I create an iTunes library with the TwistedFlac
files, the songs load in just fine but they are not organized by artist
or album. The flacs are all suitably tagged, and the wav shadow files
include the artis
Purely by accident I found that songs on the virtual disk and synced on
iTunes can be played on my iPod. I wasn't expecting this to occur.
Either:
iTunes copies the music as a WAV to the iPod,
Or iPods have the ability to play FLAC.
Either way, now I can have my FLACs and listen to them to!

Okay - I guess an easier way would have been to keep TwistedFLAC mounted
(on the server PowerMac) and then just use iTunes (laptop) to discover
and share the files. Works both ways.
I'm getting beyond the point of my original post. The purpose was to
point our that you can have FLACs for use wit
He he he... I'm really pleased now. Yup, I love my SlimDevices and the
awesome quality they produce. But sometimes I'm bound to my laptop and
headphones.

kphinney,
Thanks a lot for the topic and explanation of getting everything to
work.
I too use flac, and would be interested to try this. I do have a
question.. once iTunes picks up the flac files can you use iTunes to
add album art to the flac files?
My current flac library (also around 500

I'm on OS 10.4.11, and I have MacFuse for 10.4 (Tiger). The full name

Thanks. I'm not adverse to keeping things organized, but I prefer to
do without it if I can. I do wi

1) I don't want to convert my files. FLAC is what I use and will
continue to use, even if I have to eschew iTunes like I have for years.
2) "Max" will convert all of your FLACs in one go

That's very interesting. I will give it a shot later in the week when I
have time.
There are two other options available.
1) mp3fs: Works similarly to the way your method does i.e. creates a
virtual filesystem based on MacFUSE. But instead of WAVs, the files are
converted to mp3s at a bit rate
