I’m having a sound quality issue when transferring music from my mac to my iPhone.
A few months ago I got an album on cd, which I ripped to my Mac using Apple Music, then synced to my phone. Then I got a 3 month subscription to Apple Music, so I basically just streamed that album via Apple Music.
Now my subscription is cancelled, and I went back to using the music tracks on my device - but I noticed that the audio quality of the new album was really bad, it sounded almost tinny. This didn’t happen with any of the other albums I had though.
i deleted the album files, then imported the album from cd again - this time as high quality AAC instead of mp3. I tried syncing again and it sounded exactly as bad as before. Weirdly, when I play the audio files from my Mac, they sound fine (to clarify - I am using AirPods 4 ANC to listen in both instances).
where am I going wrong?
