I've never used one of these apps, so I don't know how they do it exactly.Īs of November 2022, Apple claims that Apple Music can be configured to stream lossless audio on macOS and iOS. Sorry to necro an old post, but Google points here. I haven't used iTunes or iTunes Match in years so I've forgotten exactly how it works, but if what you're getting at is iTunes going to see these ripped tracks as being ones you legitimately purchased using iTunes, then I believe the answer is obviously no. Or if they are "accepted" by iTunes Match in the end Would this quality difference be obvious? Only you can really decide that based on your ears and your setup. So depending on the process, you could end up with for example, a 256 kbps aac source that was essentially re-encoded to another 256 kbps aac m4a, obviously with a degradation in quality as a result. Do they take a 16/44.1 HiFi flac as the source (or just a 256 kbps aac m4a), start streaming it, record the stream using what codec I don't know (i.e., flac, aac, mp3, etc.), and then package the recorded audio stream into a container that you choose up front, i.e., m4a, mp3, flac, etc. I've never used one of these apps, so I don't know how they do it exactly. I think this depends on what quality is acceptable to you. That's fine as long as the quality is the same in the end Rate Your Music Organize Your Music and Manage Your Library See the full reddiquette wiki to learn more: Please be aware of this and refrain from posting about it unless it is absolutely relevant to the subreddit's stated goals.įollow Redditquette.
