Some songs not downloading in lossless quality in Apple Music for iPhone I just noticed that some of the songs that I downloaded in my library aren't downloaded in lossless quality even though I have lossless downloads turned on. When I erase these songs from my library and stream them using internet they play in lossless quality, and the difference when listening to them is pretty noticeable. I've tried downloading these songs again after deleting them and being able to stream them with lossless audio, but they downloaded in bad quality again. Why is this happening? (In the first picture, a downloaded song, the lossless badge is missing. In the second pictured, the same song being streamed with wi-fi, showing the lossless badge)

Apple Music stops after playing 2 songs from my library Any ideas why Apple Music - on a MacBook Pro M1 running macOS Monterey 12.4 consistently stops after playing 2 tracks from my library? Ie not streaming but playing songs I have saved on my laptop in Apple Music? After 2 tracks, the music stops playing, the name of the first track still appears at the top as if it is still playing and I need to click the skip track button to restart the music - after doing this there are no further issues and tracks play continuously. The problem occurs again after I restart Apple Music, start playing a different playlist etc

Management of the location of songs in iTunes Mac Hello everyone, I just made a fantastic new discovery: when I drag a song into the iTunes window, regardless of the Preferences chosen, the song will go into a "music" folder, rather than surreptitiously going to store nicely in the artist's folder already present in my base folder. Same when I have to search for a song that has lost its link. In addition, impossible to register as before additional information in the tag of the piece: it will not be found in the same piece, but I discover on closer inspection, that are in the same folder: the piece of original plus a copy of the song with the addition I made!!! Morality, I have already evacuated, ONE AT A TIME (sic!) 2 T of duplicates, while pieces continue to be added to this famous 'music' folder. I've been in a divorce from iTunes for two ages now and of course no one on the hotline seems to know about any of this, so any observations haven't been escalated to the devs, the problems persist, and worse, they're getting worse . How do you do, those like me who have to go through the throes of this program which should be our beloved Apple's best ever? Thank you for your attention and all the best.

Log out of iCloud and then Log Back in. Perhaps the sync needs to be reset.
