Playing FLAC files using iTunes in SL

by Ricky Melgares on October 15, 2009

With the new version of OS X, previous methods of getting iTunes to recognize FLAC-encoded audio files no longer work. Fortunately Dmitry Kichenko, the brains behind Fluke, has been working on a new beta version of his software that installs the necessary components and workarounds to get the finder and iTunes to recognize FLAC files under Snow Leopard. Installation is a breeze. You will have to restart iTunes and Quicktime after installing Fluke. The finder should now recognize your FLAC files.
