By 'lossless' it means that when you rip a CD to .flac, no data is lost during the ripping process (unlike mp3, ogg vorbis, wma, etc)

How do you play flac files with iTunes?
Yes, but its very very limited. You need the "Xiph components for QuickTime", but its not really worth doing. Because that will only let you play flac files that are in an 'ogg container' rather than in a 'native flac'. What does that mean in English? Ogg, like some other file formats (mp4 in particular) is a 'container'. You can put other file types into this container (vorbis is easily the most common, to the point where when most people say 'ogg files' they really mean 'vorbis files in an ogg container'). So, if you want flac files to work with iTunes, the file must be 'blah blah.ogg' and not 'blah blah.flac'. You cant just change the filename to get it to work either, and as 99.9% of the flac's I've ever seen are 'native flac' its kind of pointless to even bother.

Depends on the version of WMP you are using. With earlier WMP version (9 or les) it was possible to get flac playback. On later versions (10 or above) it should still be possible to play .flac files, but no-one has done it yet.
Is FLAC converted to mp3 still good quality?
It will be as good as the mp3 onversion software and bitrate allows. Flac to 320K MP3, or VBR v0, with a decent tool, should be excelent sound quality. Flac to 128K MP3 will still sound thin, lifeless and lacking any depth.
