I have tried to do just that, but so far I have been unsuccessful. If you would be so kind could you walk my through the process step by step. If not, no worries.

Peace and low stress..

I would recommend that you download the lossless.zip instead of the vbr.zip. Then use this free program:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/flacsquisher/

It will allow you to convert the flac files to mp3 which can then be easily imported into iTunes.

And thank you for asking. I had no idea there were Grateful Dead shows on archive.org for free download! I just loaded up my iPod with the June 1991 Giants Stadium performance which I was fortunate enough to have attended.
