I am an Apple Music user, and imported all my Music into iTunes / Apple Music. Therefore I had to transcode from Flac (my main format) to ALAC (Apple Lossless).
This is not satisfactory at all. But I am still using Flac. Why? Quality wise no difference, but: Flac has a build in checksum, which CAN be used to check if the track has been corrupted (bit-rot). There is nothing in ALAC to do this. Did I ever check my files? No. So I would say - for all practical purposes, it does not matter as a user of LMS. LMS does transcoding when needed in a transparent way. And unless you have many players, I would not assume this to be too taxing for even a Pi 3. There are some players which can play LAAC natively, and some can’t, but I do not know which.
