FLAC & ALAC
Usually such problem is being faced by people who use iTunes and iOS devices. Unfortunately, iTunes does not support FLAC files, however, it has its own lossless format. Apple Lossless Audio Codec, ALAC in short, is very similar to FLAC – they both compress the data to the smallest size possible, making sure that no information is lost and it sounds just like the original. Never mind the minor differences in structure of the codecs, the main thing which separates them is the fact that FLAC is a free format, whereas ALAC was created by Apple for iTunes users.

Let’s have a look at a couple of different audio converter programs which help to convert FLAC to Apple Lossless:
MediaHuman: try to convert FLAC to Apple Lossless
MediaHuman is quite a good representative in this field – it is free, simple and supports a number of other formats. So if you ever need to convert any other format, let’s say WMA or OGG, you will be able to do so. It works very well with iTunes library and allows one to convert a couple of folders at the same time (for those who won’t be able to stop :P). The other useful features are that it helps one to extract audio track from video and keeps the folder structure. And the last but not least, you can choose the quality you want your new file to be. Since FLAC is a lossless format, we recommend you to choose the initial quality to make sure your ALAC file sounds just as great! It is available for both Windows and Mac and the only disadvantage might be that Apple users won’t be able to find it on the App store – one can only download it from the official website or mirror links on other websites.
