    Looking for alternative to Music app for macOS in 2026

    I have recently decided to get a digital audio player (Fiio M21) to use instead of my iPhone (maybe as well as, depends on the use case...), and this combined with the fact that Apple removed an album I bought from my library has made me think that I want to take back control of my library, move...

    Apple Music iTunes Match -IOS 15 has Dolby Atmos and Lossless but Mac Bg Sur does Not

    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...
