What are “flac tools” and where do i get them? Are you saying that “flac tools” are part of iTunes?
Can you confirm that I should be able to stream .flac files to my SB under OS X using FF?
Please excuse my apparent ignorance: I checked out of the FLAC on OSX conversation a while ago when Ron confirmed that it didn’t work yet.
It only works on OSX if you compile it from source with the relevant fink packages. The pre-built versions don’t do flac. If you want to try that, give a yell, and I can walk you through it.
