Having just downloaded LA and Hampton as FLACs. Can anyone let me know how to move them into Itunes. I managed it with Brussels but have forgot what I did!!!

You will need to convert the flac's to apple lossless (ALAC, file extension *.M4A)
dbpoweramp can do that for you, a quick search on the internetz also came up with this:

I used winamp to change them to wavs and that worked too.

Mac or PC?

Thanks for all the advice guys I'm using a Mac if that helps!

This is for MAC:

xAct is a nifty program. I converted to AIFF instead of WAV. Works great. Just select all, drag to decode window, then convert and save in a file, then select all and drag to iTunes. You can also copy the art from the Stonesarchive site to your desk top, Get Info to all tracks, and drag artwork into album cover field and valla you have the complete album in iTunes.

Wow....lots of ways that leads to Rome, i guess!

Have tried the suggestions but still failure only seem to get computer code>>>>any other advice?????

I convert to .wav with "traders Little Helper"

No tags for .wav though - that's one small problem, if you re-load iTunes down the road or whatever, you have to put name of artist on the track again

Unfortunately, Apple's software and devices, like iTunes, QuickTime, iPad, iPhone, iPod, don't support FLAC format. To open and play FLAC in iTunes, a recommended solution is converting FLAC to iTunes recognized audio formats like MP3, M4A, WAV, AIFF, etc.

xAct works fast and easy. Will convert to WAV or Lossless into a folder you click and drag the folder icon to My Music and its in your iTunes.

I use a program on my MAC called "Switch." It is fast, simple and works beautifully.

On a Mac you could try Audirvana Plus as High-End-Player which can also integrate the iTunes Library. Converting of FLAC files works on a Mac also with XLD. A High-End-Player for mobile devices is for instance the Onkyo HF Player (Apple iOS / Android version).

It's an odd 'first post' for someone that's just joined IORR.

Deserves some slack then...
Welcome aicoomeer.
ps... Have you tried iTunes "Help" or "FAQ"?
