Does anyone know if Sound Check works on iTunes and iPods, when music has been ripped in Apple Lossless format please?
iPod classic, Windows 7
Carlos,
SoundCheck does not work on Apple Lossless files, only on MP3, AAC, WAV, and AIFF. For a brief description of its functionality, see this document: iTunes About SoundCheck.
Thanks ed2345
Not sure about Windows, but on Mac Soundcheck DOES work on Apple Lossless files as of 12/15. I am using a 2015 Mac mini with iTunes 12.2. I can play an Apple Lossless song, turn on & off Soundcheck in the prefs, and hear the volume difference on the fly. I can also go to the file information for the song and see the dB change that is assigned by Soundcheck; the range of adjustments does not seem to differ among purchased mp3s, ripped AAC, or Lossless files. Note this applies only to playing them from the Mini to a stereo; going through another device like an ipod may not preserve the soundcheck function.

If so, nobody told Apple.
Does Sound Check work on Apple Lossless?
