Apple Lossless audio on WP8

[robmif76]

Coming from the iOS world I have a lot of my music in .m4a lossless which is not playable in WP8. Is there a way of getting these to work on the WP8 platform short of having to convert all my library? Would have thought Microsoft would want to make life as easy as possible for converts like me and just slip in a codec but hey...

Do a search on lossless on this forum. A russion (IIRC) guy wrote a pretty nice how-to for this exact feature.

You can also have windows media library do this on a pc or laptop as I did the same thing with some podcasts last night.

I tested m4a on my HTX 8x. No problems and conversion needed

m4a is just a container and ALAC happens to use it to store lossless music.

We might have to wait for VLC to be released to play Apple Lossless on our phones

Style Jukebox Cloud Player now supports M4A (ALAC) and FLAC streaming and offline playback on Windows Phone 7.x and 8. Just remember, you must first install it on your computer in order to upload the files. You can also import them from Dropbox or SkyDrive.
