    Apple Lossless and Spatial Audio

    Overall a decent summary, but bad MP3s from “back in the day” are not a fair comparison to lossless. A far fairer comparison would be the 256 MBPs AAC Apple used for streaming or iTunes sales before the recent move to lossless. And lossless is, by definition, at least as good as CDs. Yes...

    A good example is Taylor Swift who re-recorded Fearless as a FU to the the record label that was trying to hold her prisoner to a record deal she signed as a teenager (or her parents did because she was underage??). But albums aren't being re-recorded for Atmos -- The Beatles didn't suddenly...

That would mean not having to pay extra. We will find out (very??) soon My bad feeling: my huge lossless CD collection iTunes is on my...
