I have flac files I want to transfer and play in my iphone. itunes doesnt seem to allow this. I downloaded the free flac player+. It is asking me to do a sync between the app and the computer. Does anyone know what that means or how to do it? Or if you just know any way i can play these flacs on my iphone. I hope solutions do not include converting files. Thank you!

I found this info somewhere
if you installed FLAC Player+ via the App Store directly from your iDevice, you’ll need to perform a Sync now to get the FLAC Player+ App on your computer.


I am still totally new to the iphone-itunes world
and i dunno how to do this

Do you care if the FLAC files are still played as FLAC on your iPhone.  In other words, could you just convert them to another format first?

If you have saved the FLAC files to your computer, connect your iPhone and open iTunes. In iTunes click the "apps" button and scroll down until you see your "FLAC Player+" app and on the right at the bottom it should say "Add". Click "Add" and find the FLAC files on your computer and drag and drop. It should copy it over to your iPhone and you are good to go.

Thank you very much both of you!

You could also convert/rip to Apple Lossless, it's exactly the same as flac.

I personally use the Flac Player+ app on my iPod touch 4th Gen, works just fine for me, but you could easily just convert them to ALAC, although I have no personal experience doing this. 
 
EDIT: Oh wait I'm an idiot, you were asking for help with this app. Seems like you got an answer, so I'll just leave now :|

No, thank u very much!
Converting them to ALAC did the trick and its working just great!

 

[SleathX1]

Well great!
Can I ask how you did so? because I've heard that ALAC is easier than fiddling with the Flac Player+ app, I had quite some trouble getting my older iPod to be compatible in the first place.
Once you convert them to ALAC, do you simply open them with itunes and then sync them over to your phone?

Well, it is easer and great sounding? Still if your interested in hearing HD 24 bit/96 kHz tracks on an iPhone with iOS 7 and above, the VLC player gets added as a phone app, the files can be added to the app in iTunes.

Not as smooth as using the standard method with an iPhone or iPod Touch, but it sounds great even though your products DAC limits out at 24/48.

Great for movies with an iPad too.

VLC player is free at the Apple App Store.
