![]() I did extensive testing on my BMW and Honda and found the following: that your music player can play Apple Lossless format.that you wish to transcode your music collection to a lossy format like MP3 or AAC, or.Transcoding Your Apple Lossless Files to Another Lossless FormatĮxport for iTunes does a great job of exporting your iTunes collection to a USB stick but it assumes either: Under advanced, save music files to a playlist folder remove hidden Mac files skip existing files do not convert files with the same format as conversion output and do not convert lossy formats.Make sure that you select the following export options: I recommend using Export for iTunes to export your Rated Lossless playlist from iTunes. You may also wish to exclude certain tracks, for example music or language lessons if you previously ripped those to lossless format.I created a “ Rated Lossless” smart playlist that matches music for all of the following rules: iTunes Smart Playlist for Your Rated Lossless Musicīefore doing so, you likely will wish to create a smart playlist within iTunes that limits which tracks will be exported. Next, you need to transfer your audio files from iTunes. I recommend using Dougscript‘s Re-Embed Artwork, which is compatible with iTunes 12.6 and Mac 10.13 (“High Sierra”). So you must then embed your album artwork within your music files. This artwork is stored separate from your music files. Embedding Your Album Artworkīefore exporting, you should use the Library > Get Album Artwork to download album artwork for your iTunes collection. So, the challenge is how to get the music from my iTunes collection to my car via USB thumbdrive, in a lossless format with full metadata including album artwork. Not only does this save space on your iPhone but it also permits you to listen to lossless audio collections that are larger than your iPhone storage. With 128 and 256GB thumb drives available for $30-60, you can now export your entire CD collection to a thumb drive and listen to it in your BMW with no loss of audio fidelity. Over the years, I have ripped all my CDs to Apple Lossless format, stored in iTunes on my Mac. Having purchased upgraded entertainment systems for our cars, it only makes sense to listen to my music in lossless format. ![]() I frequently listen to music in our cars. ![]()
