This is a roundabout way of saying that if you’re not an Apple Music subscriber, you won’t be able to download tracks in Lossless Audio.įurther, even if you are an Apple Music subscriber, any tracks you download in Lossless Audio will be Apple Music tracks, not your iTunes purchases - meaning you’ll only retain access to them as long as you’re an Apple Music subscriber.
If you subscribe to Apple Music, you can redownload music in lossless only from the Apple Music catalog.
It doesn’t matter how many thousands of music tracks you’ve purchased from iTunes over the years if you don’t subscribe to Apple Music, you won’t be able to listen to them in Lossless Audio.Īpple tacitly outlined this in a recent support document, where it offered an oblique “no” to the question of iTunes purchases, emphasizing that tracks can only be downloaded in lossless audio from the Apple Music catalogue.Ĭan I redownload my iTunes purchases in lossless? In other words, Apple is not bringing Apple Lossless Audio to its more traditional iTunes library in any way. With all the excitement - and confusion - around the announcement that Apple Music is going Lossless, it seems that there’s one very significant limitation to the new service that Apple is being pretty quiet about: it’s only going to be available on Apple Music.
