    what is the best way to play FLAC audio files in itunes (and possible then on iphone)? i want to DL the August Show of the month

    Convert them to Apple Lossless

  2. That's a very good solution. Or, if you want to save some space in your ipod and you're not a sound purist, you can convert them to lossy MP3 with VLC or foobar (they're free).

    That's of course an option as well. But since Andrew was asking about FLAC files I was just guessing he wanted lossless. Also in iTunes when synching to an iDevice you can check a box to automatically convert files to a lower bitrate, but keep them lossless on the computer.
  4. Cheers guys. So iTunes will convert FLAC into Apple Lossless for me?
  5. I tried iTunes for the Apple Lossless, but I couldn't figured it out.
    Foobar can also convert FLAC to Apple Lossless in a very easy way.

  6. No, iTunes won't play with FLAC at all. You'd need to convert into ALAC in another program first unfortunately.
  7. Or convert to .wav which iTunes can convert to Apple Lossless. What iTunes can also do is convert your stuff over a said bitrate to that bitrate when syncing.
  8. Alright boffins, a query of my own. An SD card of mine seems to have gotten itself into a bit of a mess. Windows won't format it (no surprise) and HP Disk Format won't format it (a big surprise). Both tell me that the card is write protected. I've tried clearing this in command prompt and it claimed it was a success, but still the error remains. Any ideas?
  9. Well, my knowledge is really limited, so this might be silly, but did you touch the physical lock mechanism?
  10. No

    That is definitely unlocked.


    Edit: problem half-solved

    I think this SD card might well be knackered. I can't remember what I did, but I did format it eventually and prepared an XBMC install on it. But when I put it in the Raspberry Pi and booted it up, it failed to recognise the card. So I put it back in my PC and again, it has gone back to RAW. So I thought "sod it" and used another SD card.

    I've just put it in my PC again to see if time really is a healer and it's no longer RAW, Windows is actually recognising it again. So, I'll format it again, and try to get Raspbmc to install.

    Edit: It seems to be installing.
    Edit: It's working! Not sure I trust it against though...we'll see how it goes.
