To my knowledge, FLAC is not supported on the iPod.  I have all of my
Slim files ripped as Apple Lossless on my Mac G5.  ALAC is the same as
FLAC in quality, but not 'open source' (free).  When I want to put
something on my iPod I open the ALAC files in iTunes and transcode them
to 128k AAC, which an iPod will play.

Even though the iPod will play AIFF and WAV files, you wouldn't want
them on the iPod due to the size!  Same holds true for FLAC or ALAC...
they're still really large compared to AAC or MP3.

There is talk that FLAC may be natively supported with Apple OS 10.5,
but we'll have to wait and see.
