What actually changes
FLAC and ALAC are not the same picture in two wrappers.
The FLAC is decoded to PCM and re-encoded as ALAC. Both are lossless, so the audio is bit-identical before and after, and only the container and the entropy coding change.
Worth knowing first
The file size changes slightly, usually a few percent larger for ALAC, because the two codecs predict differently. Anyone reporting a big size difference is comparing different source material, not codec efficiency.
Questions
FLAC to ALAC, answered
Is quality lost?
None. Decode either format and the samples are identical.
Do the tags carry across?
Vorbis comments map onto MP4 atoms reasonably well, though obscure custom tags can be dropped. Embedded artwork survives.
