I'm very happy that Apple Music now supports lossless audio. However, the applications we have created using MusicKit and MusicKit JS currently do not seem to play in lossless or high-resolution formats. When will we developers be able to use MusicKit and MusicKit JS to play songs in lossless and hi-res formats?
Hello @mmitsui,
For iOS and tvOS apps, MusicKit's playback API is designed to honor the user's settings for audio quality (in Settings > Music on iOS and Settings > Apps > Music on tvOS); you can learn more about those settings here. Additionally, with MusicKit's playback API, there's no programmatic control over whether the user will get Lossless; there is also no indication of which quality is playing.
However, for web apps using MusicKit JS, playback of music with Lossless or Hi-Res Lossless quality is not currently supported.
Best regards,
Thank you I understand that MusicKit.JS does not support Lossless or Hi-Res Lossless quality right now. Is there a plan for MusicKit.JS to support it in the future, and if so, when is it planned? Best regards,
Interested in playing lossless using MusicKit JS as well. Are there any plans to introduce this functionality?
I'm interested in lossless audio in MusicKit JS. I would encourage anyone else interested submit feedback in Feedback Assistant. I just did in FB11761886.
