ITunes (vanilla) still doesn't support FLAC and I'm guessing that WMP (still) doesn't support ALAC.
#YOU AND ME FLAC CODE#
IIRC ALAC has some specific features to support Airplay streaming, but as far as substantive differences go that's about it.Īpple placed ALAC in the public domain under the Apache license a couple years ago (although not before a bunch of folks had spent a lot fo time and effort reverse engineering it), so now presumably all 3rd party devices are using encoders and decoders are based on the Apple source rather than the Hammerton/Brocious code (which still had some bugs in the hi rez code paths when I tuned out a few years ago).
Both achieve a similar end by very similar means and there are absolutely no quality pros or cons that I am aware of.
From a technical perspective there is really nothing to choose between FLAC and ALAC.
