It's a question from Yahoo.answer. It's also a universal phenomenon among iTunes users. One the hand that FLAC format is popular for providing marvelous audio quality and much smaller file size is well received among audiophiles. However, on the other hand, Flac format is not a compatible audio format with iTunes and with all Apple devices. In order to play FLAC to iTunes Mac, play FLAC on iTunes 10.4.1/iTunes10.6 Mac, a recommended solution is to transfer FLAC to Apple friendly audio formats so that you can play FLAC with iTunes, iPad, the new iPad 3, iPhone and iPod, etc.

Step 1:Import FLAC file.
Click "Add File" to import prepared FLAC file.

Step 2:Set iTunes supported audio format.
a.Click the drop-down button on the right side of "Profile" to select desired output audio format for iPod.

Does is automatically convert the FLAC file in order to be compatible on any Apple devices. I got the same instruction like this idea however it doesn't work at all.
