Convert FLAC to Apple lossless and use iTunes? Probably the easiest to
use if you have an iPod, and you can point slimserver directly at the
iTunes Music Library.
As for which ipod - the touch only goes up to 16Gb, so if you need
more the Classic is your only choice. If you can manage with 16Gb, the
touch gives you a lot more functionality for the price...
