Can iTunes Play FLAC?

Q: "Can iTunes recognize FLAC files? I got a bunch of FLAC files that I want to simply drag into iTunes music library as I don't want to lose any of the quality. But it just doesn't work and I can't find the songs in my library. It works fine with .MP3 but why not .FLAC?"

A: Does iTunes play FLAC? The short answer is NO! Despite the fact that FLAC playback support has been introduced starting from iOS 11 through Apple's Files app, iTunes still does not support FLAC.

What Audio Formats Does iTunes Support?

iTunes can natively read, play, and convert between WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, AAC, and MP3 audio formats. Obviously, FLAC is not on the list, which leaves FLAC-loving audiophiles in a bind. Due to the existence of its self-produced lossless codec - Apple Lossless (ALAC), iTunes FLAC support seems to be out of the question.

Play FLAC in iTunes in a Roundabout Way

So it seems to be impossible to play FLAC in iTunes. However, as the saying goes, there are no dead ends in life, only dead-end thinking, you're able to convert FLAC to iTunes supported format to break the limit. Apple Lossless (ALAC) is highly recommended if you have a high requirement for audio quality. By contrast, MP3 or AAC is the best bet if you prefer to smaller file size rather than quality.
