Comment 2 for bug 368942

Hello Stephen,

I am using itunes or the media player in finder to play the file.
When the file is imported to itunes, the sample rate is set at
'automatic' as this is the only option available .

Please see attached screen shot of Max screen I get when I'm
selecting the output settings. As you can see quality, bitrate and
VBR are unable to be selected.

It's strange that the file size is almost twice that of the original
FLAC file. Shouldn't it be the same size? It's like extra data is
being added into the file. I'm using Max 0.8.1.
