I haven't used any of my download codes for a while. I remember it wasn't the most user friendly process. Has this improved recently as far as transferring to iTunes. Is it worth paying for ALAC or ALAC-HD? Can your burn CD's with the ALAC files? Alternatively do the CD's come with some artwork. Thank you in advance for any replies!

    The process is still the same.
    Only you can answer if you can hear the difference between lossless formats and aac or mp3. Personally, getting a product with stuff stripped out (regardless if I can hear it or not) bothers me, so I always go for lossless even though it costs more.
    Yes, you can burn CDs with ALAC if you have a Mac. It might be easier to burn CDs with FLAC if you have a PC.
    Yes, the CDs have artwork. But you should know that the CDs sold here and on nugs are burned onto CD-Rs.

    Yes it's worth paying for Alac or Alac-HD, if you are an Apple user.

    Thanks very much to both you guys. I've got a 2020 MacBook Pro so I should be good. Last time I tried this was on an 2013 iMac so that could be part of the reason I had a few issues.

    Well I thought I should be good but apparently that was a mistake. I've got the playlist in my iTunes library but the option to burn a CD is greyed out. 
    Again this is an ALAC file using the 2020 M1 MBP. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Please disregard I think I got it worked out. The Seattle 2018 boot had downloaded ok and I could see in Apple Music so I thought I coild burn it from there however I realized  had to create a new setlist before burning.
