Thanks, I had already chosen this setting! Oddly enough, the artwork in Aiff and AAC is enclosed, unfortunately not in Flac...

Have the same pain... kwigmyre, could you solve the problem of the missing (flac)artwork ?

Means that if I want to have also sorts by genre, then I should choose the string as [%f]/%A/%T (%y)/%g/%n - %a - %t This leads to the question of how reliable/useful is the genre info from FreeDB...

How about these strings: [%f]/%A/%T/%n - %t [%f]/%A/%T (%y)/%n - %a - %t

@ Trappistmonk Many thanks for a great info !

Thank you! Means, in addition to XLD there is no need for any software to make iTunes (MAC 10.8) adapt. FLAC. Just for playing the FLAC files, additional software is required, eg Pure Music. Thanks! So I am going to start with Audirvana+...

Any recommendation for a third party playback software...?

Hi TrappistMonk, you use FLAC in iTunes, which software has proven to open iTunes to FLAC? Did you compare the FLAC-data-size "normal compression" to "without compression"? Some believe FLAC without compression would have sonic benefits...
