High-quality downloads directly to mobile devices using our DJ mixing apps.
High-quality audio files sound great as they are identical to the recorded master created by the artist, and provide the full audio fidelity of the recording without loss of data.
The high quality audio files are delivered using the Apple lossless format (ALAC). The Apple lossless format is equivalent to WAVE or AIFF audio but has a smaller file size.
When a music download includes a high quality file you will see the HQ icon over the album cover in our Apps:
