Support for other files?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

since the mac version doesn't work, i used the windows version via bootcamp. 
awesome program! but i have one issue. i have already started the process of 
converting my flac and shn files to apple lossless. i am halfway done, and 
noticed that boottunes wont work with alac!! aaaahhhhhh! any hopes of 
supporting alac?

So you have files in ALAC already, but want to have the files re-tagged?

before, when things were simple, my programs would read folder names and the 
songs file name. a very nice and easy way to access music..my problem is that 
stupid itunes only supports lossless in their own proprietary ALAC format and 
requires this tag info bs! after years of not listening to my loved shows, i 
started to convert them. im about 1/2 way.  99% of my bootlegs dont have tags, 
but they all have the .txt file describing the show and setlist. this program 
will read the txt file,artwork, and create a proper tag right? Do other 
programs do that?

oh wait... your program converts from flac/shn to ALAC... oh... i see. i cant 
just change tags? it must convert? Thats cool! wish this project came out a 
long time ago, cause its necessary! any chance of just implementing a tagging 
feature?? or maybe know of another dev who is working on getting tag info from 
the txt?

I can add ALAC as a supported starting format pretty easily, and since the 
files will already be in the target format, no conversion will be necessary.  
In order for this to work, though, your text files will need to be located in 
the same folder as the files they describe.  Are your ALAC-converted shows set 
up that way?

yes they are! This makes me very happy! your program reads the .txt files 
beautifully!

ALAC support added.  It will be in the next release.

As for beta testing, you're already doing it, and it's much appreciated.
