I am looking for a free tool that would allow me to convert big amounts of FLAC files to Apple Looseless (ALAC) while preserving the tags and optionally adding new ones from CDDB or similar sources.

At this moment I'm more interested in a Windows utility but you are free to recommend OS X ones. Please use different answers for different tools.

According to the Wikipedia article, any media player based on libavcodec should be able to encode ALAC. Such players include VLC and MPlayer, both of which have Windows GUIs available. I'm not sure the Windows GUI for MPlayer exposes any transcoding functionality, but I'm almost certain that VLC's GUI can be used for transcoding.

For OS X you have XLD.
