How to Play FLAC in iTunes With Fluke
Apple's iTunes media player does not support playing FLAC lossless files, which are often used by music collectors to preserve digital music. Fluke is designed to make up for this lack of support on Mac OSX and provides a way to play FLAC files in iTunes. The application works directly through the dashboard and uses a drag-and-drop gesture for loading the music to iTunes.
