Product Platform: MacOSX
Used Product For: Less than a month
Recommend Product: YES
Running 10.3.9 and QT 7.0.4 FLAC files will not open with QT:
"QuickTime cannot open the file: "Don't Be Like That.flac"
it is not a file that QuickTime understands (-2048)"
The FLAC to iTunes script works beautifully but will only convert the first track in a folder:
"A descriptor type mismatch ocurred"
I made sure to restart after installing the .pkg.

By the way, what FLAC to iTunes script are you talking about?Wednesday, May 10 2006 @ 02:20 AM PDT

XiphQT does support FLAC decoding, however at the moment (as stated in the release notes on the project's website) it can only import Ogg FLAC file format. Native FLAC format support should be ready soon. (It's possible your .flac files ARE actually Ogg files - try renaming them .ogg and see if it works. If not - you will have to wait.)Wednesday, May 10 2006 @ 03:27 AM PDT

I think it might be better always to put the all important ogg- in front of the FLAC if that's the case :-)
snoogly - I did searh on my system for anything with FLAC in the name after installation and came across a new script in iTunes, which must have been installed with the whole package. It seemed like the answer to my prayers...flaac keeps the tags but uses faac and Toast uses the QT encoders but loses tags.
I suppose I could put each track in a separate folder before conversion...heheh.
