Here's the skinny on my problem. I D/L the flac files and upon converting to .aiff or .wav (I've tried a few formats. I get two files in the target folder for the .wav files. One is a .txt doc that is called "progress" and a complete .wav of the last file converted. Upon opening the "progress" file. I can see a % completed of each .flac file with the last file being 100%
I have tried downloading the .Flac files three separate times with the same result.
Software: Bit Torrent for Mac > Mac Flac > iTunes

Help!

Here is Mac OSX info:

The following app can transcode from just about any format to any other format, and it does it speedily and easily, let's you do big batches of files at once, etc. Has a nice interface, very customizable.

Great for converting SHN/FLAC > mp3.

Program is called 'Max' - here's the link:

For simple playing of FLAC files (plus many other audio/video formats) on Mac, I recommend the open source, stable, and lightweight VLC:

Edit - others may recommend xact for mac. It works, but is rather clunky and slow in my experience. The above mentioned programs are light years ahead of xact in terms of functionality, speed, and presentation.
