Flac Files - Organizing and Playback

I confess to using iTunes for my music library for the convenience it offers. For example, I can load up my 160GB iPod with tons of music to listen to in my car.

I get the whole "Flac is better than mp3" concept, but how do I migrate to something comparably convenient and with comparable storage space?

To be clear, should I head now in the Flac direction:
(a) what music program should I use to organize the flac files (it sure won't be iTunes, will it?)
(b) what portable flac player offers me the most storage so I can transfer from my laptop to the portable for playback in my car? Neil Young's Pono music player is all this dummy knows about.

thanks for your suggestions!

Re: Flac Files - Organizing and Playback

If you convert your FLACs to AppleLossless format - foobar does it nicely, and as do some others softwares - then you get the best of both worlds.

You can keep your music lossless and still use the iTunes file structure you like.

foobar will do it even if you don't convert it.
