Lossless Audio Purchases From The iTunes Store

Can you purchase lossless audio files from the iTunes Store? Do you have to have a subscription to Apple Music? If you do not have to be subscribed to Apple Music and wish to purchase lossless audio files on a Mac how do you do it?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 12.3

No. The only lossless files that Apple provides are part of the Apple Music streaming service. See details in here: About lossless audio in Apple Music - Apple Support (particularly the next to last section).


Unprotected lossless tracks for download are available from many other online retailers, including BandCamp, Beatport, HDTracks, etc. You can buy them and add them to your iTunes/Music library.
