Audiophiles please help me get ALAC files on my iphone

What convertor did you use to take your files from FLAC to ALAC? Maybe a different convertor would do the trick. Since ALAC is now open sourced, maybe some convertors add extensions to the format that Apple doesn't or can't read.

Good point! I use Free Audio Converter which has been great until now, but I use a Windows laptop so XLD and Max aren't a possibility. I might have a go with this one:

Does anyone have any recommendations that aren't dbpoweramp (due to it being pricey)?

***EDIT***

The download above worked! Only problem is unless you buy the Pro version it only converts one song at a time thanks for your help!

I know that when I want to listen to music though, I open i-Tunes, so everything is in there. I just wish it could play more file types.

I wish they'd finally put a visualizer in iOS, but I guess Apple assumes people don't want to leave their phones on with the battery draining (we can use the thing plugged in, Apple, geez...).

Also, there are various plugins/extensions that can extend iTunes's ability to play other formats, like FLAC. The problem is that these only work in iTunes and not for the iOS devices.
