As Vocalpoint said, a sensible thing to do would be to convert to Apple Lossless aka ALAC.

You can configure MC to use an external ALAC encoder and do the format conversions inside MC:

Unfortunately - not a lot - if any -other programs do. Therefore - risking wav and then moving your files to another playback platform could easily leave you tag "challenged" again :)

PAPETOURNE:
I just installed JRiver MC onto my NAS QNAP 251HS+ I noticed  that FLAC files are converted into WAV whereas in the explorer the files are in FLAC. I tried to reconvert them form JRiver option. the conversion failed. someone can explain this ? is this a bug ? or JRiver want to improve the audio ?
