I've got all my CDs ripped in ALAC so that I can use the iTunes option to have the tracks automatically transcoded to smaller, lossy AAC when putting them on iDevices.

I welcome this open sourcing because it makes my 'archival' format slightly less oddball.

ffmpeg already can transcode from alac to flac, I rip with itunes and transcode to flac for my Sansa Clip.
