alac

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but can I play ALAC files on my car's sound system via CarPlay, or is it converted to AAC? I have a Kenwood DMX957XR headhunt, and it supports CarPlay, along with FLAC and AAC files. No mention of ALAC. Just wondering if CarPlay still supports ALAC? Yes, I...

When ripping to ALAC I have used 'artist 1 ; artist 2' to seperate multiple artists. When I load the ALAC tracks into Apple Muisc, the second artist is completely ignored. Apple Music only displays the first artist. So I am having to go back and change all of the tracks back to 'Artist 1 Feat...

Hello everybody, I am restoring an old Mini A1176 to become a little music server and as such I want to convert my FLAC library to ALAC so that I can play it through iTunes because it is the best way to arrange playlists and being built in into the OS I won't have to deal with software not...

I'm getting more educated on Hi-FI audio lately, but I'm still learning. I'm an Apple Music subscriber and I understand that it uses the lossy AAC version of music. However, I have a few albums that are not available on any streaming service and have purchased the CD's. After I ripped them into...

Hi All, I've been using XLD for years to go from FLAC to ALAC. Having upgraded to macOS Sierra a few weeks ago I've seem to have lost the option in the XLD drop down to convert to ALAC. I have all the other option.. just not that one. I'm not sure if the OS is relevant as I don't use it...
