Converting itunes to flac

[davelk10]

So I have been trying to convert the sampler from itunes to flac but have been having a bit of difficulty.

I have burned a cd directly from itunes and I have ripped that into wmv (for my mp3 player use).

I would like to convert these files into flac for storage. I think the best way is to convert to wav then flac, correct?

Any help?

Thanks

Hi OP,
How did you burn a cd from Itunes? I'm having a hard time with Itunes and their protected files. Thanks for any help!

why? itunes is mp3. which means it is mp3 sourced. mp3 to flac, honestly, is just a complete and total waste of time. it makes no sense cause you will have quality loss. anytime you convert a audio file from its original source you will have some quality loss. for storage purpose's, the way you got it from itunes is the best. flac that is mp3 sourced is looked down upon if you wanting to trade it. and is very easy to find out. again mp3 to flac makes no sense, but if your wanting to do this any converting program will work provided it has mp3 and flac codecs

Anyone know if there are any codecs out there that allow you to play 24bit flac files with widows media player ?

There is much different software that can be used to convert itunes files to FLAC. One thing to know is that a FLAC file is a loss-free less audio codec.
