RE: Need software to compare flac and apple lossless tags

If the files are all 44/16 just convert all of the ALACs to FLAC. Again, you will have all the same audio samples. The only concern I would have would be if you were to convert 24 bit files. That's because there have been (at least in the past) issues with 24 bit ALAC implementations. (For that matter there were issues with 24 bit FLAC back around 2005.)

Obviously, if there is software that just copies the tags it will take less elapsed time. However, you will have to find and learn this software. I just use dBpoweramp, click and let it go and come back when it's done. I don't care about elapsed time, just how much attention I have to pay to it.
