YOGYAKARTA - At the 2021 Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) which took place last June, Apple introduced the lossless audio feature. This feature is rolled out to Apple Music and is free to use by subscribers of the music player app.

"Apple Music delivers an unrivaled listening experience defined by the highest audio quality standards," the company wrote on its Apple Support page, Thursday, August 5.

For users who want to listen to lossless audio, it is mandatory to have the latest device and software version. When these two things are met, Apple Music subscribers can freely stream content with Flac-class audio on their devices.

Currently, some iPad, iPhone, and Mac series already support lossless audio with 24-bit/48kHz and 48-bit/192kHz frequencies. Meanwhile, for Apple TV, it only supports standard CD quality.

There are a few things that users should note. Keep in mind, this feature offers high-end audio quality. That is, the file size of the song or audio concentrate that will be heard is certainly larger than the file with standard sound quality.

Therefore, before you play music and activate the lossless audio feature, it's best not to use a cellular network. The problem is that it will consume a large enough power quota when the application downloads audio files.

In addition, this feature also cannot be activated via a bluetooth headset. This means that owners of older series AirPods will not be able to taste this advanced audio feature. Because it can only be accessed via Airpods Max and AirPdos Pro only.
