OK let's not get too nit-picky about semantics. Any flac file is not necessarily a lossless file, as it might have an empty3 source which is severely lossy.
Flac is a lossless audio carrier in that whatever one puts inside it does not suffer loss on replay, but if it is an empty3 inside then one has to be very cautious about calling the flac file lossless!
I believe that you are mistaken with respect to FLAC. FLAC is a codec. Xiph.org, the originator of the format, seems to be quite clear about this. There are installables that reflect this reality. Also a formal specification. FLAC encoding and decoding is, by definition, always lossless.

I think that you are confusing FLAC with OGG, also from Xiph.org. I believe that OGG is a container often used in conjunction with the Opus, Vorbis (audio) and Theora (video) codecs.

There are ways to play FLACs on a Mac, even from within iTunes.Further, FLAC is open source. There are likely resources that allow it's use within DAWs if desired.--------- Original Message ---------Subject: [SurroundSound] Re: convert flac to mac...

If you want to play FLAC on Mac, you'd better to convert FLAC to MP3, AAC, AC3, M4A, AIFF, etc.--
Here is a guide to help you do this job at: http://www.faasoft.com/articles/flac-to-mp3.html
This guide applies to:
1. Convert FLAC to MP3, WAV, AAC, AC3, DTS, AU, AIFF, and etc;
