SC usually does the transcoding, that's what happens when you use the "stream.mp3" stream. I don't think the audio quality of the iPhone justifies the extra effort of using flac vs. e.g. 256kbps mp3 streams. And effort here means transfer rate, licensing (flac being open source) and added power consumption (mainly due to transferring more data). > > Is there another app for the iTouch devices that can do FLAC > transcoding so you would not have to bother with that bit? I've heard that there is one that plays flac files but I don't remember what it is.
