I've just installed Leopard today and there seems to be *no* FLAC support. At least iTunes and QuickTime refuse to play them.

Also, the firewall has been totally simplified, compared to 10.4. You can't open/close single ports anymore. All you can do is allow/disallow programs.

Yup, I tested that at the Mac store this afternoon (I got my copy of Leopard today).  iTunes and Quicktime are the same as before.  >:(

Are you guys upgrading 10.4 or doing a clean install?

Sounds like a job for Linux....
Can you dual-boot or something?

And is the iPod ever going to record?

Is that a good thing? I am not sure if that will act as port forwarding or not. Can someone let me know? Not that I can upgrade anytime soon.

I don't see what the big deal would be, with something like the transmission BT client.  Set a port in transmission, then tell the apple firewall to let transmission do what it wants. Not a issue for me, I have a x86 box running http://ipcop.org/ (http://ipcop.org/) and I do all my firewalling there. I can bring it up threw a web interface.

Use Play rather than iTunes. It has 24-bit flac support via CoreAudio!

Did you trash your prefs? I had the same problem in 10.4.10, but that solved it.

The big deal is that a feature that was present in 10.4 was removed for 10.5. I don't want some software to just "do what it wants" on my computer. I have an external router/firewall here myself, but I use my notebook a lot at university and I might not be that well protected there. There was just no need to change anything as the 10.4 firewall system was actually quite good...

I suspect FLAC support will come with a major Quicktime update. Leopard comes with QT 7.2, same as current version on 10.4.

there has never been any indication from Apple that they will ever add flac support

It has, for a while.

You can record voice memos using an optional iPod-compatible microphone (available
for purchase at www.apple.com/ipodstore). You can store voice memos on iPod and
load them onto your computer. You can set iPod to record at low-quality mono (22.05
kHz) to save space, or high-quality stereo (44.1 kHz) for better sound.
