I don't think iTunes will play FLAC natively, although there may be a hack somewhere.

I ripped everything to FLAC because I don't think it takes any longer than ripping to MP3 and storage is cheap.

I use flac2mp3 to build a parallel library of MP3's, but there are some issues (the album art doesn't get written to the MP3 tags). Anybody have a better way to convert fully-tagged FLAC files in a batch to something useful for the iTunes crowd?
