    I like itunes for iphone syncing, remote control, organization and other features here and there. I've got some other players that play flac but I'd like to put this stuff in my itunes as well. Also, I'm on pc.

    there's a plugin that let's you use foobar2000 with your ipod. You can listen to Flac on your computer, then set the plugin to convert to mp3/aac/whatever when you add music to your ipod.

    regardless of which software is best - iTunes not supporting FLAC is one of the biggest dick moves of all time by anyone

    Importing FLAC to iTunes, you may need to convert FLAC to Apple friendly audio formats so that you can play FLAC with iTunes, iPad, the new iPad 3, iPhone and iPod, etc.

    In order to import FLAC to iTunes, we will need to convert FLAC to Apple friendly audio formats.

    If you care the quality of the output audio, converting FLAC to Apple Lossless audio is recommended. You can visit this guide for converting FLAC to Apple Lossless at http://itunes-converter.blogspot.com/2012/02/flac-to-itunes-converter-how-to-import.html.
    then import FLAC to iTunes for enjoy or for sync.

    If you do not care about the quality of the music, you can convert FLAC to MP3, a versatile audio format across system and devices then import the converted FLAC files to iTunes. You can find the step by step guide at http://audioconverters.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-convert-flac-to-apple-lossless.html
