I have been enjoying Apple Lossless Music as a way to listen to music I don't have in my physical media library or burned to my iTunes Library as a CD with AIFF set as import or for burning.
Apple Music has an option to " Add To Library" when you are in the App. You can't burn the album to disc, but is in your Library available for listening.
When viewing my CD's song file info the bit rate is 1,411 kbps - 16 bit - 44.100 hZ but the albums I added from Apple Music song file is referenced it shows 256kbps and 44.100 hZ. Is this how the ALAC codec works ? I looked at some of the Apple pages and Wiki pages on this but other than the old ATRAC on my Minidisc Recorders and the rare time when I used to put an MP3 audio file on my Android phone I know nothing.
Can anyone smarter than me put this in perspective as to how this works ?
Is ALAC lossless and no different than AIFF ?
thanks in advance
