Album music

Hi

I purchased an album a while back and I'm too tech savvy

I assumed it was available on my iPhone and my iTunes library

I converted the purchased files to an apple lossless version. Once I thought I's done this satisfactorily I deleted the AAC files however 2 tracks from the album are missing from my library.

I cannot seem to be able to download the missing tracks as they show up in my iTunes as purchased but they don't give me the option to download again

I guess i'm being stupid and would appreciate some help

Thanks

Mike Hamilton

You can re-download purchased digital items from the iTunes Store. This document describes how:

Hi,

Why did you convert the purchased tracks to ALAC? You can‘t improve the sound quality and all you have ended up with larger files.

In addition to the link provided you may need to unhide tracks.

Hi,

Alac is great if you want to rip CDs. There is no loss in quality but converting tracks from AAC or mp3 can’t restore what has been taken away from the original compression.

If you want to buy/ download higher quality tracks, there are plenty of options available eg HDtracks or 7digital (which I use but need to convert from FLAC to ALAC for them to be played in iTunes).
