![]() And whilst, AAC is in fact an excellent music format, one far superior to say Spotify’s MP3 320kbps format - it is still a large step down from lossless, which is recorded at 1,144 kbps. If your song or album is not in the catalog - your lossless album is downgraded to Apple’s AAC/256kbps file format during the matching process (this is the format Apple previously used for Apple Music). In ITunes Match, lossless audio is only available (given to uploads) of songs/ albums that already exist in the Apple Music Streaming catalog. It’s here I wanted to clarify things for readers - iTunes Match is fantastic in so many regards except for perhaps in one area where it really lets you down. It states that although the iTunes Store doesn’t offer lossless downloads you can purchase these elsewhere at places like & upload them to Apple Music (if you also pay for Apple’s iTunes Match subscription). ![]() In an earlier post - iTunes lossless, too? - Apple Community ![]() Is Apple’s ITunes Store Lossless? Answer - NO. It just seems like we have to add all the songs we had before apple music again. How can I make a smart playlist that adds all music that is not from Apple Music? Or similarly, how can I make a smart playlist that adds all songs before a certain “added on xx/xx/xxxx date”? So do I have to add every single song again pre-Apple Music era, i.e, re add music I have purchased? It just seems tedious work to do and punishing people who bought music. When I search for it on Apple Music and then play it, it gives me the lossless option. Whenever I play a song on the album it doesn’t show any lossless/ hi-res/ Apple digital master even though it is playing via cloud and not download. Do I have to delete an album I purchased from iTunes, and then add it via Apple Music, to be able to get the lossless version?Įxample, I bought Nothing Was The Same by Drake in 2013. But now we have a new era of Lossless music where we run into old problems. I used to buy music albums from iTunes until Apple finally came out with Apple Music. I have a specific example that applies to a lot of people right now. ![]()
