With lossless audio, some of the songs that are in my library have a better quality than some of the music I have uploaded over the years. I would like to have the matched and downloaded songs replaced with the Apple Music versions, without doing them manually. I have about 18,000 songs in my library, so I have no interest in going one by one and taking hours and hours to do replace. Is there a way to do this?
Hi,
There is no automatic way to do this. You don’t need to do this on a track to track basis. You can select multiple tracks and remove download then redownloading Apple Music version. Be aware that lossless tracks have DRM and will only be available whilst you have an active Apple Music subscription.
An alternative is to backup your existing library and create a separate library and use it to stream or download your music via Apple Music.

Thanks! I do know how to backup my library, and I also have all of my music on two different external hard drives, so I don’t have any concerns about losing anything. So, how do I replace the tracks in my library with the lossless ones?
I would like to switch my matched iTunes songs to Apple Music
