ALAC downloads in iTunes Store

We the People, that spend our hard earned dollars in the iTunes store, request soulfully, expectantly and respectfully, that Apple would begin converting all iTunes store music to Apple Lossless Encoding (ALAC) 96kHz/24bit or higher format. Yes, the quality difference CAN be heard. We, the People, would like all previous purchases to be made available for download in this better quality audio format. This will save more of us from jumping ship and going to vendors such as hdtracks.com to spend our money. Apple's prompt attention and expedition of this is warranted. Thank you kindly.

Both you, and the OP, already know that you are only talking to fellow users on these user-to-user forums, and that Apple are not here. If you want to leave feedback to Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/

Wayne,

Almost all online music download stores sell tracks in lossless formats. Many sell better-than-CD-quality tracks, such as HDTracks as you mention. The iTunes Store is one of the exceptions. As a smart consumer, feel free to shop at the retailers who are selling what you want to buy.
