Listen to lossless music on iPod touch
In the Music app 
, Apple Music subscribers can access millions of tracks encoded using lossless audio compression.
Lossless compression is a form of compression that preserves all of the original data. Apple has developed its own lossless audio compression technology called Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC). The entire Apple Music catalog is encoded using ALAC in resolutions ranging from 16-bit/44.1 kHz (CD Quality) up to 24-bit/192 kHz.
Note: Lossless music isn’t available in the Apple Music Voice Plan. For more information, see the Apple Support article About Apple Music Voice.
What you need to know about lossless in Apple Music
-
Streaming lossless audio over a cellular or Wi-Fi network consumes significantly more data. And downloading lossless audio uses significantly more space on your device. Higher resolutions use more data than lower ones.
AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and Beats wireless headphones use Apple AAC Bluetooth Codec to ensure excellent audio quality. However, Bluetooth connections aren’t lossless.
To get a lossless version of music that you already downloaded from Apple Music, just delete the music and redownload it from the Apple Music catalog.
To listen to songs at sample rates higher than 48 kHz on iPod touch, you need an external digital-to-analog converter.
Note: Apple Music and lossless aren’t available in all countries or regions. See the Apple Support article Availability of Apple Media Services.
Turn on Lossless Audio and choose audio quality settings
You can separately choose audio quality settings for Wi-Fi streaming and downloads.
Go to Settings
> Music.Tap Audio Quality, then tap Lossless Audio to turn it on or off.
Choose the audio quality for streaming and downloading audio.
Choose Lossless for a maximum resolution of 24-bit/48 kHz.
Choose Hi-Res Lossless for a maximum resolution of 24-bit/192 kHz.
The audio quality of streamed music depends on song availability, network conditions, and the capability of connected headphones or speakers.
Identify lossless music
If music is available in lossless, 
appears on album pages. When you turn on Lossless Audio in Settings > Music > Audio Quality, the Lossless badge also appears in Now Playing. To learn more about a song’s lossless encoding, tap on an album page or in Now Playing.
For more information, see the Apple Support article About lossless audio in Apple Music.
