    Music App Lossless Issue

    Has anyone noticed that the Lossless icon disappears after moving between lossless tracks or albums? I'm sure it's also reverting to lossy playback. Rebooting the Music app fixes it but it does't las long before it happens again.

    Isn't it support the lossless audio on a MacBook(M1) too? I found that When I changed a song from AAC to ALAC, occurred a big noise like in the recorded video. I am using Monterey and my friend is using Bigsur but both of these are the same situation. How can I fix this problem? 🥺

    Apple Music Lossless - iTunes match now a problem?

    As I understand it, Apple music will be lossless but any items uploaded via iTunes Match will not be? If I am correct here then it looks to be a pain for anybody with iTunes match. iTunes match items are merged into your iCloud music library and are not easy to separate so it will then become...

    Apple Music Disappointing Atmos & How Apple Can improve this.

    I’m coming to this as a bit of a surround sound geek so please bear with me. Dolby Atmos music on Apple Music is really disappointing so far. I am using 3rd party headphones so those with supported AirPods may get a better experience. A lot of songs sound like they are being presented very...

Noticed that even if I just...

    Apple Music Lossless over Bluetooth? Why do people 'expect' this?

    I think that not enough people understand what lossless audio is. It's not some sort of magic technology that unlocks a hidden layer in your music. It just keeps tiny, inaudible details from the original recording in—mostly noise. At the cost of several times higher bandwidth. See for yourself...
