    ALAC tracks with multiple artists tags. 2nd artist ignored by Apple Music.

    When ripping to ALAC I have used 'artist 1 ; artist 2' to seperate multiple artists. When I load the ALAC tracks into Apple Muisc, the second artist is completely ignored.

    Apple Music Why were my music files downloaded as HLS and not ALAC in Apple Music?

    Yesterday, after reading the following: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212183 I signed up for Apple Music Premium because I wanted to start re-downloading my entire music library in ALAC. I tried this on my M1 Macbook Air running Big Sur 11.16.3 but I couldn't get it to work. The songs that...

    ALAC From iTunes to iTunes via Apple Music Ends in AAC

    I'm getting more educated on Hi-FI audio lately, but I'm still learning. I'm an Apple Music subscriber and I understand that it uses the lossy AAC version of music.
