  • Your ipod can play flacs if you rockbox it. Go to rockbox.org - you basically swap out Apples OS and replace it with the Rockbox one that plays flacs. Many apps will also allow you to listen to flacs on your iphone - I use capriccio for that.

    I appreciate the tip but I've got one bootleg in FLAC format so I'd rather not reformat my ipod for one show. :-)

    On a totally different subject, is Mayo your real name? I only ask because it's my last name and not one I hear very often. :-)
    grace and peace

    A rockboxed pod will also play tons of other file types- mp3, aac, etc, too. But iTunes interface is better and music is better organized on the device (rockbox is drag and drop, so folder structure remains) using the apple os, so it's not for everyone. I keep one ipod for iTunes (128 aac) and another rockboxed for flacs.

    No, the Bob mayo thing is from frampton comes alive (do you feel like we do), thought it was funny one night listening to that record after a couple of drinks, back in the day when we could change our names at will, now I'm stuck with it! Only one person has gotten it. But ultimately better than Showbox opera walrus, which I almost changed it to later while listening to Bob pollard....

    Use DBPoweramp. It is super intuitive, converts to/from all popular formats (Wav, alac, alachd, flac, ape, oog, etc.). It converts in 16 or 24 bit and it is super fast since it uses all of your PC cores individually. Also uses IDV4 tags so any media player will pick them up. I've been screwing with digital music since the late 90's and this is the best product I've come across. It's not even close.
    If you know where to go, there are free versions around for the reference edition. Or you can PM me.
