How do I convert FLAC to Apple Lossless? - Page 4

I just used Xrecode II to convert a FLAC album to ALAC. The album started off as 24/96 and 833 MB. After conversion it was only 248 MB. If it's lossless, why such a massive change in file size?

Most likely it resampled it to 16/44.1.

From your previous post it seems like it was converting into 16 bit perfectly fine, which is the best possible for an ipod. 24 bit is pointless since the ipod DACs are only 16 bit capable.

yes dBpoweramp works really good, just ensure you must download all codecs.

Since someone else revived this thread I have to agree. I use dbpoweramp to convert flac to alac. Took me 18 sec to convert a 12 song album.
