Playing a lossless audio file like FLAC on Mac takes a couple of extra steps than if the file is in MP3 format.
Open the FLAC file on your computer.
Launch MediaHuman Audio Converter.
Drag and drop the FLAC file onto the audio converter or click the add button in the app.
When you play FLAC files on Mac, the music comes in two files: the image and the cue sheet. You can use the audio converter to split multiple tracks into individual ones, or the image from the cue sheet.
From the “Output Format” dropdown menu, choose Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC).
Adjust the quality to your preference for your Mac audio player.
Click “Convert”.
You can now play FLAC files on Mac as ALAC format, which both QuickTime Player and Apple Music support.
