Flac conversion for ipod?

I am trying to figure out the best way to convert FLAC files to be played on an ipod. My understanding is that programs like "MAX" will convert these files to apple lossless...does this mean they will automatically play on an ipod? I would appreciate any input.

Thanks for the input. I thought I was on the right track with MAX, just wanted to make sure.

I can't get these files to play on my ipod. Spent hours trying to convert them to AIFF then to Lossless. Still wont play on ipod. The AIFF files transferred to the ipod, but will not play. Even the Apple Lossless files wont transfer. I have a fairly new 160 GB ipod. Any suggestion? I am using MAX for the original conversion.

I finally got the tunes to play on my ipod, but only in 16 bit. Is it possible to play 24 bit through ipod, or is this an itunes issue on the transfer?

iPod doesn't support anything higher than 16/48k.
