Apple Music uses specific audio badges to highlight high-quality releases. Here’s what each badge means and how to qualify for them: 

Lossless Audio: To get the Lossless Audio badge, you must upload music in a lossless format (FLAC, ALAC, WAV, AIFF) via eMastered. This badge represents uncompressed sound quality, offering a pure, studio-grade experience. 

Hi-Res Lossless: For the Hi-Res Lossless badge, submit files that are at least 24-bit with a sample rate above 48 kHz. Use the same lossless formats to meet Apple’s high-resolution standards.
