So the ideal is to upload from full-res (whatever that is in your situation) for FLAC downloads.
Then ask Apple to at least offer the choice of ALAC downloads from the iTunes store, made from the 24 bit sources they've been requesting and getting. |
I had read this and that was my concern. If I load a 24bit file then it's great if a person chooses to download is as a FLAC or AAC file. But, isn't this statement by Bandcamp implicitly saying that if a person chooses a 16bit format they are converting the file for you?
So, in this case, wouldn't it be better to upload a 16bit dithered file? This is where my confusion lies. I guess the only way to really find out would be to publish the page privately, download it myself and check the difference in quality of each.
