Flac conversion for ipod?


I am trying to figure out the best way to convert FLAC files to be played on an ipod. My understanding is that programs like "MAX" will convert these files to apple lossless...does this mean they will automatically play on an ipod? I would appreciate any input.

I am interested in any answers to this. Anyone having success buying high quality HD Tracks and converting FLAC to apple lossless for use in iTunes?
Yes. Max will do exactly what you says. I have purchased hi-res FLAC tracks
from HDTracks.com and converted them to AIFF using Max, and played from
iTunes without any problem.
I agree, Max works well for this. Besides AIFF, Max can convert FLAC files to Apple Lossless and other formats that will work on an iPod.

I have converted both 24/48 and 24/96 purchased FLAC files to Apple Lossless for playing through iTunes at better than CD resolution.
