Apple Music is using WAV files?

Check this out. Just tuned into Beats 1 and saw an... Interesting song title.


WAV? For real?

That's just what the DJ has it named in their library, not the actual format being distributed.

WAV? For real?

Just an add-on on the name for some reason.
But Apple Music uses protected AAC files which file extension is .m4p

It is said that Apple receives lossless audio from the labels but distributes them in 256AAC.
So this is probably a leftover suffix after encoding.

That's what I thought because I knew Apple was all about AAC...

Thanks for the tips!

I noticed this today. There was an interview with a new female British artist and the interview segment titles all ended in .wav.
