I've seen a few questions about which program to use for FLAC conversion, but I haven't seen a lot of mac answers.

What is the best mac program for converting FLAC files to something more iTunes playable, without losing the metadata?

Normally I'd say SoundConverter, but getting gstreamer running on OS X is No Fun. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams May 19 '10 at 19:40

I've used Max with success in the past.

you can always convert media things via 'ffmepg', available in the 'macports':

 % ffmpeg -i in.flac out.mp3

(and there are switches to add the meta-data as well).

I believe this only converts to lossless formats. You can use it to convert to Apple Lossless that iTunes can play then play that or rip it to whatever lossy format you prefer that iTunes supports.
