FFMPEG now supports encoding audio into ALAC.  I used Ubuntu, and there's a
guide out there that showed me how to do the compile.  FFMPEG can also
transfer *most* meta data using the meta-data flag.  When I tried to convert
FLAC to ALAC, it moved over most meta data.  I think the comments were
messed up and it didn't keep the image.  I also don't think it kept the
"Total Tracks" and "CD#" tags.  But if you don't care about the image, then
your fine.
