![]() This type of lossless is almost identical to what originated from the studio and results in a file size of about 145mb for a three-minute song. But there’s an option above that, called ‘High-Resolution Lossless’ which takes the files up to 24-bit/192 kHz. Think ‘CD quality’, and you’re about there.Īpple’s version of this runs at 24-bit/48 kHz.

This basically means it has been reduced in file size to preserve the storage on your device and the amount of bandwidth required to stream those files over the internet.Īs a result, some of the detail in the music is lost. Up until today, the highest quality (indeed, only quality) available on Apple Music was in AAC format at 256kbps.
