What's Apple's explanation for not providing lossless downloads in 2023? Do they have any data that shows that most people still use dial-up connection to access iTunes? The "noises" that compression removes are part of the music... I believe no one needs to have a highly sensitive ear to notice the difference; it's obvious like the sharper picture of movies on Blu-ray. However, since Blu-ray itself failed to replace DVD, I understand that at some point (any) digital download started to suffice.
I think... most people don't really like Music and Cinema.
Thumbs up to Beatport.
