Kirk McElhearn, aka “The iTunes Guyâ€, delivers a Master Class discussion on creating or upgrading your iTunes library with lossless files. Kirk starts with the basics of understanding compression and encoding, throws in some practical considerations, and guides you to making your best choice to have the highest quality music in your collection. It should be a simple matter, but there are many variables, not the least of which are iCloud Music Library, iTunes Match and storage space on your iDevice. If you are interested in high quality music, you will get all your answers here.
