There have been tests showing we cannot hear the difference between minimally lossy audio (e.g. mp3 320kbps) and lossless. But Balvin can. And it sounds "bigger and stronger".
The extra quality of lossless is nice when mixing/remixing the sound, as the inaudible loss of quality with minimally lossy audio (e.g. mp3 320kbps) is audible when the sound is sped up or slowed down.
But, and this the article does not mention, is not what Apple Music wants you to do. The formats will be proprietary with DRM.
I prefer FLAC/OggVorbis/etc when it comes to music. But then I like to be able to mix/remix.
