Fluke works soooo well. I tried it last night. Prior to using Fluke I had this crazy apple script thing going on for each flac or ogg I wanted dropped into iTunes. Utter mayhem (well not really but it sure wasn't elegant!) This though...what a find! Now then...let's get those FLAC files on to an iPod already!

Great news!
I have not tried it myself, as I moved from FLAC to ALAC some 4 years back. But its certainly nice to see that it works as smooth as they claim.

Wow songbird seems really cool. I tried Fluke and it didn't work for me :-/. Does songbird support gapless playback? Usually iTunes does all that stuff automatically for me, but songbird doesn't for some reason.

Actually after using songbird for 10 min I take back what I said about it. I can't figure out how to do gapless playback and I have some bug where it wont let me fast forward a track. Eh I guess I'll try to find something else to play my flac files.

When you ran Fluke, before adding the files to iTunes, did you search them out in the director and "right click" then "open with" and search for fluke.app?

Well, its still in beta stage. So expect a bug once in a while...
/me don't like it either, but that's just me and the XUL stuff

Well I understand that you are concerned about lossless openness, but lets not forget they use AAC/MP3 and H.264/MPEG-4 open standards not owned by Apple instead of coming up with their own WMA/WMV-like formats. Lossless is the exception (unless you count the DRM which I think it's fair to doubt was Apples sole idea) and likely for the reasons I mentioned before. I certainly understand the desire for more codec support (Ogg Vorbis, DviX, etc.) though. Not sure Apple has ever really been about every possibility (think eliminating serial/parallel ports, floppy drive, etc.) over what it considers "the best" or at least "future".

In my signature there's one FLAC/MAC compatible player listed ... Native Instruments BeatPort SYNC ... Dunno if it works in all Mac OS versions ....

Yeah that's exactly what I did. I've realized why it didn't work now though. Since I just switched from a windows pc all my music is stored on a FAT32 based external hd. Mac OSX can read FAT32, but not write to it and apparently Fluke needs to edit these files to allow them to play in Mac OSX.
BTW what happens when I connect my iPod to my computer? Will it try to send these files and then give me an error message?

Mac OS X can both read and write to FAT32. But perhaps you use NTFS file system? Which Mac OS X can't write to.

Sure it can I do it every day!
I can't quite remember which option I went with but this is a good one:

Hmmm... actually it's not letting read my external HD for some reason, I get an error when I plug it in. Weird, must investigate this.
