Many music platforms already had it, so Apple did not want to be left behind. The company has already made official its new hi-fi music system called Lossless Audio which will actually add to the Apple Music features. We had been seeing signs of this release for several weeks, although officially the company had not announced it until now, despite the fact that it even left tracks in the app days ago with a very promising message stating that music was about to change forever.
These are the Apple Music news for June
One of the great objectives that Apple has is to provide great sound quality in one of its main services. This is what you are going to try to achieve with Lossless Audio, a technology integrated into the Apple Music application that includes the incorporation of spatial audio with support for Dolby Atmos. These are the tools necessary for artists to create new immersive songs. And the best of all this that it does not have an extra price since it comes with the Apple Music subscription itself that remains at a stable price of 9.99 euros per month.
Although, the company has wanted to emphasize that this is a feature that will also apply to the more than 75 million songs that are in Apple Music even if they have not been recorded with Lossless Audio. Obviously the experience will not be the same but it will improve the hearing quality in general. This will be achieved thanks to Codec (ALAC) that will allow all these songs to be treated again to achieve a realistic result.
Although, this functionality is not available right now in Apple Music. We will have to wait until June to start working without having detailed a specific date. What they have been able to confirm is that there will be many songs that will be found in Lossless Audio at its startup and more will be added over time. Many artists have shown their satisfaction with this announcement, such as J Balvin who affirms that listening to his music with Dolby Atmos was a very good experience.
Apple Lossless Audio requirements
To be able to enjoy Apple Lossless Audio, you will need to have AirPods or Beats that have an H1 or W1 chip, although it can also be played on any latest generation iPhone, iPad or Mac. The experience you end up getting will be fully customizable in the device settings. Apple reports that the Lossless level starts at 16-bit quality that ends up going up to 24-bit at 192 KHz . In the end, what Apple is about above all is to ensure that any user who has compatible headphones enjoy immersive music that seems to be surrounding them.
With this movement, Apple Music is at the height of other music services that already offered this feature. Although it is true that it is not the first to do so, you should end up comparing and testing which service ends up working better on a day-to-day basis.
