I guess I need to remind you of what you wrote? "You can also always convert FLAC to Apple Lossless...easy, fast, no change in sound."
Clearly mistaken and lousy advice. There is nothing "easy" or "fast" about it. I stand by my remark. You are disrespectful, among other things, because you distort the record instead of simply admitting that you do not know what you are talking about.
This has gone from silly to sad, and I won't comment any further as this has gone too far afield from the purpose of the the thread.
But for those still curious, last night I transferred a live album I purchased in FLAC to ALAC using Max. It took:
1. Maybe 3, 4 clicks to get it going (a 5-year old could do it)
2. Took about 12 seconds per track to convert (faster than re-ripping a disc)
3. Sounded exactly the same.
So, again, very easy, fast, and no loss in sound quality.
Really not that hard to comprehend.
Anyone wanting more info without "input" from trolls can feel free to PM me and I would be happy to oblige.
