VLC is currently #18 in the app store in the media player category. It's not just some linux app. As to how to get flac files on the iPhone,

1) you can connect it a computer open Finder go to apps section drag the file there

2) put the file in the iCloud and access it from any device with the files app on

3) in Safari if a link is a media file you can share it with VLC

and that's just 3 off the top of my head, I think there's a couple more. It's really not that hard, gone are the days where apps needed to run local webservers to slurp content. But actually VLC can actually probably get media that way too.

1. Requires a Mac.

2. Requires a proprietary apple service. I'm starting to notice a trend with your suggestions.

3. Are you really suggesting people manually download their files one by one? Rofl.

Isn’t the poster replying on the options for downloading FLAC to a DAP on IOS?

What is the options for Android?

I don’t know of any native android solution that allows for sync to sync desktop or online platform for specifically FLAC files without a backend user/server/client service that is native.

What’s your alternative?

Android presents a filesystem when plugged in to a computer, so almost any file sync tool should work.

2: what do you expect here? Apple has their own authentication and authorization - should they just leave an ssh port open on every phone or what?
