Importing into Apple Music in lossless format

Is this possible? So far, I can only do this using an MP4 format.

Thanks.

Mac mini 2018 or later

Depends what you mean by "importing."


If you mean buying from the iTunes Store, no. They are all in AAC/256.


If you mean buying from a store that sells lossless downloads, yes. Download the track and add it to your iTunes/Music library.


If you mean ripping from CD, yes. Just adjust your import settings before you do the rip.
