    Resolved Fewer Lossless Content on Apple Music? (Resolved)

    I have lossless streaming enabled, but I almost never see the Lossless thingy above the Play/Pause button since updating to iOS 15.3(.1). Before it was shown with almost every song I played and searched, now it’s a rarity. Is this just a bug or is a lot of content not available in lossless...

    Hello guys, I just got 2 months free of Apple Music and since I got an external DAC I wanted to try out Apple’s lossless audio and Apple Digital Master, but I can’t seem to get it to work. If I enable Lossless it only works for a brief time and then I get this error (see the photo below)...

    Apple Music Apple Music app on macOS - automatic sample rate switching

    Apple Music DAC settings for Lossless?

    My DAC is capable of 32/192khz and Apple Music can theoretically output some files at 24/192, but most are of course 16/44 or other variations like 24/48 In Audio MIDI settings on MacOS, do I just set the highest rate possible and forget about it, or is do I pick a general limit like 24/41 to...

    I felt a strange feeling when reading more details about Apple's Lossless music service the other week.

    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.

    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...
