A few days ago, it was reported that after Apple previously announced that it supported lossless and Dolby Atmos, almost all of the 90 million songs in Apple Music have reached lossless sound quality in recent days. And for this news, some media said that after a lot of searching, they did not find any single, EP, album, and song list that did not support lossless formats.
However, if a user finds a song in the music list that only has the Apple Digital Master label, it may be due to their purchase in iTunes. Previously, Apple pointed out that audio content purchased on iTunes still does not support lossless sound quality or spatial audio.
As for the playback of lossless sound quality content, in Apple's updated user manual, it is shown that "AirPods, AirPods Max, AirPods Pro, AirPods (3rd generation) and Beats wireless headphones use Apple AAC Bluetooth codecs to ensure excellent audio quality, but bluetooth connectivity is not lossless." This means that if users want to experience lossless sound quality, they need to take a wired connection.
At the same time, in order to ensure that lossless music is heard, users also need to use iOS 14.6, iPadOS 14.6, macOS 11.4, tvOS 14.6 or later to get support for lossless music. In addition, Apple has not publicly stated how many songs have Hi-Res Lossless and Dolby Atmos sound quality, and Hi-Res Lossless format playback requires an external DAC.
In addition to the improvement of the sound quality experience, in August this year, Apple also announced the acquisition of classical music streaming platform Primephonic and incorporated its content into Apple Music. It is reported that after the acquisition of Primephonic, Apple Music subscribers will enjoy a significantly improved classical music experience, including browsing and searching by composer and track, detailed classical music background information, and a number of new features and experiences.
