FLAC can be played native in iTunes - Version: 0.2, 10/3/2009 11:12PM PST

You can play FLAC natively in iTunes with a tiny bit of work. See this article for instructions:
<http://tomyeah.com/flac-and-ogg-support-for-itunes-import-and-play/>
The only problem with FLAC natively in iTunes is that it doesn't support cover art or lyrics, so I often import FLAC and then use iTunes to convert it to Apple Loseless so that I can add cover art & lyrics.
This program FLAC2Mac may be a good "simple" alternative, but it's not too much trouble to drag & drop the FLAC files into "Set OggS" which takes about 2 seconds literally, and then drag & drop them into iTunes directly.

I've tried Flac2Mac on my PowerBook with PPC processor G4, 1,5 GHz, running Leopard 10.5.8, and it works very well, light, fast and accurate. Version Tracker, please, change note of limitation for Intel only. Many thanks to the developer!
I agree with some of the suggestions for future versions here, especially drag & drop.
One odd event, i cannot be absolutely certain it was caused by FLAC2Mac, but i will document it here incase others have seen it. My MacBook Pro osx v5 Leopard, totally froze for about a minute or more. Spinning wheel everywhere, as if something had completely grabbed the processor time. FLAC2Mac was running when the is happened. Just before i force quit with the power button the Finder returned. I checked FLAC2Mac and it had just finished a stack of 6 files, so it was a prime suspect.
Thanks for your continued work.
