Resolved Fewer Lossless Content on Apple Music? (Resolved)

[Reggaenald]

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 anymore? I’m really curious about this.
And I’m not talking about downloaded songs, only streams.

Edit: it seems to be a server issue, it just takes 3 minutes to load a 3 minute song in Lossless… nothing more to it. You’re dismissed from wasting more time in this thread.

Can you give a song as an example?

Depends on the genre you listen to, but I’m quite eclectic and I’d say 95% is available lossless. Which region are you in, because I have found differences between what is available in different regions.

Missing Home by Tilka and Always Never was a Lossless track, but it seems to not be anymore, for example.

Edit:
Also, who provides the lyrics for AM? This is a joke

Germany, but it’s only been like this for some weeks/a month or two. I mean, there are often problems with AM content in Germany for some reason, probably licensing. Some songs I believe will never be available again. Funny, it’s not like it’s a small and neglectable market or something.

Wait, now it shows as Lossless, it didn’t before.
Maybe it first loads the AAC version to then “update” to Lossless? I’ve seen the Lossless thing be shown when a song is loading just to be gone when it starts, which is strange because it worked before and my network shouldnt be the problem.

I’m getting this mid-song a lot, too. Maybe it’s a server issue?
For a paid service it makes me think a little to much about why it’s not working.

Low and behold, wait for the duration of the song and it may eventually turn to Lossless.
Well, that’s pretty useless, just like this thread now.
Thank you guys for trying to help me anyway, I appreciate you 👍🏻

It's lossless for me. Also I do understand why you would need lyrics with this song, given how gibberish this person is singing. Does he have problems opening his mouth or using his lips properly? 🤔

😂 apparently it’s trendy to talk like that. I never really listened to the lyrics I just like the songs “vibe”, listened to it during our trip to NYC.
Anyway, I just (don’t) like that there are question marks where someone wasn’t sure what he’s singing, like, really, who does Apple source their lyrics from? That’s pretty meh.
Also, I figured it might be a server issue. It does eventually load Lossless, but it takes some time like 3 minutes (for standart Lossless) which I don’t mind, but take that time before playing the song, not during, that’s confusing, at least for me 😅

How did this thread get pinned on the front page of all things. Now I feel bad for wasting peoples time. 😅
