JPEG, PNG OR PNG UNCOMPRESSED FOR APPLE MUSIC UPLOAD?

I was wondering if there were pros and cons depending on how apple music compresses their images.

The File Size makes me wonder.

Does anyone know out of this list what image would look the best given to them. I have no clue how they render the images for releases.

ALL 3000x3000

JPEG 3.67MB

PNG 6.96 MB

PNG(UNCOMPRESSED) 34.3MB

I want to maximize the look of my artwork without it taking a hit

iPhone 14
