I am not questioning Apple's motives. I assume they are doing this for one reason: to have better sounding Lossy versions. Makes perfect sense for them. You are edging closer to my point that the term "lossless" will soon be meaningless unless we read the footnotes. There will be several "lossless" versions in all probability. However, the rampant angry obfuscations of masterers such as Mr Ludwig (whose work in the past I respected) is an indication that nothing good is planned for these manipulations. The natural direction will be to make a mastertape that sounds like Apple lossy and then you know exactly how it will sound to most people. Either that or you will get a Pristine ambient "lossless" version. Your choice.
