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
