I'm working on a desktop music player for Mac that does support flac. It should be ready for release early next year. FLAC is great because it's future proof.

FLAC is great because it's future proof. You can transcode to other formats as needed but keep a lossless archive.

- cageface 3y agoYes but I think there is room for improvement.

- epcoa 3y agoThere are plenty of desktop music players on Mac that support flac, audacious, Cog, colibri, vox, Plexamp come to mind and there are others including commercial offerings. That is not the issue. People that wish to use the Apple official music ecosystem are SOL. On the second point, ALAC works just as well as FLAC in that regard.
- cageface 3y agoYeah there are options already. Swinsian and Doppler are also pretty good. But I think there's still room for improvement.
- epcoa 3y agoWhile I am personally not happy with any of the offerings on MacOS, alternatives don’t help those interested in wanting to use Apple Music with any lossless archive other than ALAC.
