Yes, FLAC is an open lossless format (like Apple Lossless, but open). Just convert the files to WAV or straight through to ALAC if your utility supports it, then open those in iTunes. Of course, those files will have no metadata, so you’ll have to add it yourself from iTunes using Command-I.

They seem to be doing some weird stuff under the hood to make the text unselectable. I guess they don't want anyone copying the track lists off the web page? I suspect that's interfering with voiceover being able to access the table data? They do have a Mac and iOS app which might work better.
