JimH:
I'm starting a new thread for questions or comments.  Cloudplay is JRiver's Lossless Streaming and Radio service.  It's listener supported.

The previous thread is here.

Please post any questions or comments about CloudPlay in this thread.

For more about Cloudplay, please see:

CloudPlay Instructions and Description

or the Cloudplay wiki topic.

Found a playlist with M4A files.  Isn't that considered "Lossy"?

It's called "Marantz Hi-End Audiophile Test Demo"  by Sismik11

I thought it wasn't possible to upload "Lossy" content?

Matt:
ALAC is a lossless codec too.

M4A is a container, it can be AAC which is lossy or ALAC which is lossless like Matt said.

jctcom:
Yeah.  I just found that out. 

Kind of annoying though. How would you tell if it is ALAC or AAC without using something like Media Info to look it up each time?
