I have Max running in the background now converting the FLAC's to ALAC. It can display and gather album art, share my library with another cpu on my network and easily synch to an ipod should I ever decide to get a new one (would be for none critical listening, bike rides, plane trips, etc.). Plus I am pretty fed up with every mac FLAC player I have tried (Play/Cog/SongBird) and using iTunes offers some advantages to me. With the recent news that iTunes will begin offering lossless files in their music store I have a feeling more and more people are going to move towards ALAC now. I guess it is because most places I buy music downloads from offer FLAC as the lossless option instead of ALAC. Not really sure why I have held back on doing this for so long. Well I think I am finally going to give this a go. converted them all to ALAC, stuck them in iTunes and couldn't be happier. Have to wire my Benchmark DAC-1 up for playback (it's currently on a 2-buss loop). Will have to check out the demo when I have some time for critical listening. Fidelia flac software#I had a nice discussion with Chris at AE a couple weeks ago, and let's just say that things are moving forward there and that they are committed to their desktop products as well as ios.Yeah, this is what I'm thinking too - I'm almost happy to buy it just to keep them in software development because I like the company. Here's a tweet that links to an interview for some background, though I don't remember this player product being mentioned: Twitter / AudiofileEngineering: Interview with Matthew Fou. Presumably, the "file" part came as their batch processor was their first product. Which leads to the deleted post: it's Audiofile, not audiophile. One reason is that I'm a sucker for bargains, and another is that I have AE studiolife. For some reason, I'm not at all interested in Amarra, but I may be down for the Fidelia base.
