This may be a dumb question...

I have most of my music on a Synology NAS drive that I listen to via a PS Audio DAC II network bridge when I'm home. These files are all stored in FLACC. I also have an iPAD II that I want to use to listen to my music when I'm away from home. How do I copy that music library to my iPAD in Apple's lossless format so that I can have it on the go? I can't find any info in the user's guide. Thanks in advance.

I'm not an expert but I think you need to use iTunes to place and manage files onto an iPad, and I don't think Apple products can play FLAC, so you need to convert to a format Apple can play.

There is a product for iPod 4G and the iPad called "FLAC Player" that will play FLAC files on an iPod or iPad.

Using the iTunes interface, you can move and play FLAC files to your iDevice.

I bought it and love it - no need to convert.

There are a few options if you don't want to transcode.
You can put the Flac files on a Seagate GoFlex HD (500GB), it will setup it's own wi=fi network so you can stream to the idevice, play the files using 8player.
You could also use Fluke,it will put the flacs in a container that can be read by itunes.
