How to Convert Apple Music to Lossless FLAC?

It's about one and a half year after unveiling Apple's music-streaming service, dubbed Apple Music, at it's WWDC 2015. Armed with a library of more than 100 million songs, a 24-hour radio station and a potential built-in audience of hundreds of millions of iPhone owners and Beats customers, Apple Music seems like a sure thing for music fans in the Apple ecosystem.

FLAC -- Lossless Compressed Audio Formats

The FLAC (also known as Free Lossless Audio Codec) is the most popular lossless format, making it a good choice if you want to store your music in lossless. Unlike WAV and AIFF, it's been compressed, so it takes up a lot less space. However, it's still a lossless format, which means the audio quality is still the same as the original source.

MP3 vs. FLAC?

Compression can produce smaller tracks -- which is good for downloading -- but it comes at the cost of sound quality. The more compressed a music file is, the more muddied and flat the track sounds. The trick is finding a balance between file size vs sound. MP3 is a lossy format, which means parts of the music are shaved off in order to reduce the file size to a more compact level; while FLAC is a lossless-compressed formats. To get the most out of your original music, it would be wise to convert Music to FLAC (or WAV) instead of MP3 format.
