i play only flac files and mediamonkey never really worked for me. songbird is ok, but buggy on my end. vlc is just too bland.
i need something, there's gotta be something!

Have you tried Cog?

Good luck. Nothing beats the interface & functionality of iTunes on a Mac. FLAC support is lacking though.

sweet----------------------cog is pretty cool. thanks for the heads up. nice and clean and can use my remote.

Play is an ok interface and plays FLAC fine, although Itunes is far better interface and I can tell no difference between FAC and apple lossless

Install the Xiph component and you can play flac. You then only have to drag your flac files onto the "SetOggS" app to make iTunes recognise them.

ewww, very nice...!

I don't know MAC OS's but NITBPS should work least with Mac OS 10.4™/10.5™. Link in my sig.

another +1 for cog. The closest equivalent to foobar.

 

[shigzeo]

flac can be run in osx via itunes, please see this article. if you just don't like itunes, cog is an excellent app as has been mentioned here. cheers

 

[melomaniac]

cool, everyone already said what I wanted to say, so I'll just vote for a sticky on this.

I downloaded the component. As per the readme, placed it in library/components and now what? I don't see SetOggS anywhere? I didn't get an installer either?

Thanks! I actually found it before you linked to it and have it setup and playing my files. This is wonderful as I love iTunes organization and tagging.

Now, if only iTunes would run on linux and iPods could support the FLACs
