If you have a Windows PC, however, you miss out on the excellent audio quality Apple Music has to offer ., i Tunes, the only official Apple Music app on Windows, does not support lossless audio. You can still get Apple Music lossless on Windows 11.
Another thing we wanted the answer to was; is it possible to get iTunes lossless on Windows?
You’re lucky you get anything. I don’t understand how Apple can sell hardware like i, phones/i Pads and services like Apple Music, claim them to be “Windows Compatible” and then provide such a shoddy experience., i Tunes for Windows has been a MESS for a long time, let alone the fact it doesn’t support Lossless yet.
So, is there a way to play lossless on iTunes on Windows?
There’s no way to play lossless or Hi-Res on Windows currently. The best we can do is submit feedback on i, and tunes here. Maybe by the time i. OS 15 is released this fall we’ll have an actual Apple Music app or i, and tunes update.
Users of the i. Tunes or Music app applications who wish to use a lossless format which supports metadata (unlike WAV / AIFF or other PCM-type formats, where metadata is usually ignored) must use ALAC. All current i. OS devices can play Apple Lossless encoded files.

How do I listen to Apple Music lossless on Windows?
You can listen to lossless audio using the latest Apple Music app on an i, phone, i Pad, Mac, or Apple TV. It’s disappointing that you can’t even use i. Tunes on Windows to stream Apple Music Lossless, even though I believe i. Tunes does support the codec itself (for example when importing a CD).
Another thing we wanted the answer to was is it possible to listen to PC Music in lossless quality?
The service is currently not the same for everyone, those who do not have an Apple device but only have a PC, they cannot hear music in lossless quality but only in lossy AAC format. And I want to listen to PC music in lossless quality and at the moment I can’t.
You can listen to Apple Lossless content that you create in i, and tunes now. Given that no reference to Windows is made at all in the linked document my guess would be that Windows may not get access to Apple Music content in lossless format, but only time will tell.
