- symlinkk 5y agoNo one uses ALAC, the industry standard is FLAC and has been that way for years, it’s pure arrogance that they continue to refuse to support it.
- parasubvert 5y ago"no one uses ALAC" except every iPod, iTunes, iOS user that wants lossless playback for the past 17 years. I suspect quite a few people use ALAC.
- symlinkk 5y agoRight, you’re repeating my point, no one uses it unless Apple forces it on them.
- astrange 5y agoiOS Music.app does support FLAC, but desktop iTunes does not, so it won't sync them. (That's why everything says it doesn't support it.) You can play them in other apps like Safari and Files.
- rootsudo 5y agoYes, that's it, FLAC. I'm also shocked on the apple ecosystem how you load files onto an individual app in itunes/that folder in Finder for the iphone/ipad. Well, I guess not really shocked, it is Apple.
