Apple Music Lossless and HiRes (for the 1.000th time)
I know this has been asked a thousand times but since we haven't seen any update on this topic (switching to BluOS 4 would have been a good time, for example), I need to ask again: What's going on on the Apple Music front? Will we see an integration of Apple Music anytime soon?
I have to be honest, I like the Node but the lack of integration of Apple Music lossless and the ever repeating statements of "hold on, we're working hard on finding a solution" wear me off and stop me from investing more into the BlueSound ecosystem. I refrained from buying a pair of Pulse Flex and a Soundbar recently because of that exact issue.
I also want to be honest, if there won't be a solution soon, I will switch to the first offering on the market that can do Apple Music Lossless integrated into the hardware.
So please, Bluesound Crew, be real with your customers and let us know what's happening. I am convinced that there is a lot of demand for this integration.

Hi Marco
The latest update on that issue is here; https://support1.bluesound.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360037270313-Music-Services-add-Apple-Music-?page=7#community_comment_18079455957655
Please continue to follow that thread as news becomes available. Please remember, we can only provide a Music Service Integration if that Music Service can provide a Software Development Kit or Application Programming Interface to do so. Apple currently does not have either.

I am a user like yourself and found that unfortunately there are no multi room music streaming system that offer Apple Music at CD quality or better. If higher quality from a streaming service and multi room is a must then look at Amazon Music, Tidal or Qobuz or even Deezer for CD quality.
