Apple Music Lossless - I have questions...

I'm seeing details on songs when I look at 'Properties' and 'File' details that indicate the song is in fact, NOT lossless (256kbps, 320kbps, AAC file formats, etc). I'll try to attach a screen cap of the properties window I'm seeing...


I feel like tagging it as 'Lossless' in its own title is a straight lie if the file properties are accurate. Right?


I guess my question is - I'm paying for lossless, how can I assure that I'm actually getting lossless? I've been cultivating an actual lossless library for years and it's getting too heavy to carry around with me on my devices - I was excited to see Apple offering lossless before Spotify could manage it, but now I'm seeing stuff like this...

Never mind. I think I found it. You have to actually go into 'Settings' and set 'Audio Quality' specifically for the format you want.


I'm still concerned that the 'File' details are indicating a lower quality format (even after I made this change) and I'd like to know how I can be sure I'm getting what I'm paying for, but I'm not always in my living room where the difference is obvious...
