Hi bareyb,


We see you have some questions about content quality in Apple Music.


In terms of streaming vs downloading, there is no difference. However the quality of content can vary depending on what type of encoding is used. For example lossless audio whether streamed or downloaded will be of a higher quality than non-lossless.

Cheers!
