Ladybug,

The song downloads in the iTunes Store are still AAC/256. The lossless tracks are only available from the Apple Music streaming service.


However, you can purchase lossless downloads from other sources, such as Bandcamp.com, Beatport.com, Qobuz.com, etc., and add them to your iTunes/Music library.
