A friend of mine claimed it to be awesome. Well I really had some problems at the beginning, but it indeed is great! I recommend everybody to give it a try in order to enjoy a boundless-media experience. Thanks for your help here. I just heard about FLAC a couple of weeks ago and decided to give it a try.

Compare waveforms of original to encoded and see for yourself." I did, with an album of 13 tracks. No sample differences whatsoever. My guess is that you incorrectly compared the result of two rips (ripping an audio CD is not deterministic), or the entire containers (e.g. WAV) instead of just the sample data. Containers were indeed not identical - MD5 sums differed - but that's completely irrelevant. “Apple Lossless is not lossless. Compare waveforms of original to encoded and see for yourself.”

My stuff is all in an artist name \ album title \ file directory hierarchy and it will take ages to go through all that. Plus the fact that I have to manually set track number for each? I'll have to take a look at the code to see if that's an easy fix (I know python). I think the set oggs python script would be 100x better if I could drag my “music” folder to it.

Apple Lossless is not lossless. Compare waveforms of original to encoded and see for yourself. As for the suggestions to convert to Apple Lossless, don’t bother if you are a real audio enthusiast.

Tiger didn't require the FSType fix to preview native FLAC files...

What doesn't seem to work though is the finder preview - which was what I really liked in Tiger. Being able to 'sample' a FLAC file directly in the finder. Is this just my installation, or has Leopard broken the finder preview for native FLAC playback, and if so, is there likely to be a review of the patch to get round it? Brilliant work, the way!
