Flac stands for free lossless audio codek. They ar compressed audio files that can be decompressed to the exact specification of the original audio. No quality loss.
Apple doesn't support these as far as I know which is a great loss. You can do one of two things. The Approach I recommend if you really must, is download fluke and add Flack support to both ITunes and Finder. The other approach is to download flip for mac and install quicktime and then presumably it makes flac happen, but fluke is so easy when it works that I can't see why you'd want to bother. The third option which is what I recommend, is to ditch ITunes and get VLC.
