Apple lossless (M4A) shows as 32 bit on 24 bit encoding

[Miss Sissy Princess]

I'd convert the files to FLAC using XLD. It's a lossless process and once in FLAC format the MPD Format element should contain the correct bit depth.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've got thousands of tracks in ALAC, many of which were converted from FLAC to ALAC using XLD.  All of them work great in Apple Music and they transfer to my iPhone, iPad, and iPods (which I use as music sources in my vehicles).  If I convert them to FLAC, I can't listen to them on my iPhone, on my iPad, or in my vehicles.

The music files in my moOode library are transferred from my "iTunes" library folder using rsync.  I maintain all of the tags and album artwork under Music. 

I really do appreciate all of your effort on this, Tim, but I'll live with the incorrect bit depth being displayed in moOode.  That's a heck of a lot easier than trying to maintain two separate music libraries of 7800+ tracks (and growing) -- one for the Apple devices and one for moOode.  Maybe at some point MPD will be fixed so that it reports the sample depth correctly.
