I have started ripping music with MC17 to FLAC, because it doesn't like some of the naming conventions iTunes adds to Apple Lossless rips; MC17 names and files some artists differently, for example PJ Harvey. I had to re-rip all of her stuff because JRiver mis-named and mis-filed the apple lossless iTunes rips.
>sigh<
Have researched this issue, maybe the answer is DB powerAmp, maybe apple lossless rips from that will import correctly into iTunes and JRiver, who knows. Otherwise you have to use after-market software (free) to convert the FLACs into Apple Lossless files, then import them.
If you are simply managing iPhones and iPods and iPads, iTunes is fine. Once you get into PC audio, you need to use JRiver on a PC or use a plug in on a mac with iTunes.
I don't know anything about playing 24-bit, high-resolution music in iTunes or on phones/ipods/ipads, so I cannot comment on that...
