Vince, I know of only two GUI rip, tag & encode to FLAC programs for the Mac. The first is MARS (Mindawn Audio Ripping Software) available at: http://www.mindawn.com/download.php It is very slow but it does work and it is a complete package. The second is PureMusic Audio Player available at: http://homepage.mac.com/steve_bryan/Personal12.html This one is primarily a audio player but it does have the ability to rip, tag & encode to FLAC if you have the FLAC libraries installed on your system. If you don't you will need to "./configure, make, sudo make install" the FLAC source code available from: http://flac.sourceforge.net/download.html Both of these programs are very early in their development but show promise. There is some talk of adding rip, tag & encode ability to xACT on the xACT forum at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/xACT-users/ but for now you would have to tag manually if you were to use it. I was hoping someone would figure out a way to add FLAC ability to iTunes like the excellent iTunes-LAME Encoder available at: http://blacktree.com/apps/iTunes-LAME/ but the only thing I was able to come up with was to rip in iTunes to AIFF, extract the tag information with MP3Rage available at: http://www.chaoticsoftware.com/ProductPages/MP3Rage.html and write a simple script to encode the AIFF to FLAC using the tag information from MP3Rage. Not exactly Mac like! Anyway, give them a try and let us know what you think and be sure to let us know if you find anything else that works, Steven
