Converting a FLAC 44.1 24 bit music file to AIFF for music downloaded from a high resolution website

I just bought and downloaded a high res music file in FLAC format. It is in my Music folder on my MAcBook Pro but it does not show in my Apple music when I open the app. I want to convert it to AIFF but can't do this because the file is not showing in my Apple library. Can anyone help me do this?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Moedee,

One that i have not personally used but have seen mentioned on this forum in the past is XLD (the X Lossless Decoder for Mac). Worth checking out.


Also, not sure which online source you are using for the HD tracks, but some of them have additional format options including WAV or ALAC, which would save you a conversion step.
