No word if Apple Music member who also uploaded their cd's (like me) will be able to stream these in lossless quality. That certainly would be amazing.
That's what I would want to know too, although I would have to re-import everything in lossless since they have so far automatically converted lossless to 256k AAC or something, in the cloud.

TRULY lossless, or converting lossy mp3 files into higher-res formats?
Why in the world would they do that? Because they want to use significantly higher server space and bandwidth for no purpose other than the negative publicity when this scheme was revealed, which it would be almost instantly?
Just picking the most cynical possible interpretation of everything isn't a sign of a sophisticated mind, no matter how much one might pretend.
Thank you most kindly for the unsolicited insult. What makes you think that Apple has received their entire inventory in hi-res formats? Is it not possible that certain albums - especially more obscure titles from obscure labels - have provided Apple only with mp3 files?
Nope.....
labels have either delivered either 16/44 files or. in the last few years have received 24 bit files
So there really shouldn't be any issues.

The Verge has confirmed that this lossless feature is exclusive to Apple Music (streaming), and will not be coming to the iTunes Store for purchasing, or replacing any purchased tracks and such.
So, with this in mind, I highly doubt they will allow users to upload their own lossless tracks into the cloud with the current method of transcoding them into 256 AAC for mobile playback — unfortunately.
iTunes Match is what allows customers to benefit from having these available on all devices, and with the confirmation that the iTunes Store versions of songs, which iTunes Match utilizes due to not containing any DRM, not featuring lossless, there’s little hope this will happen.

Well, that's a leap of faith that I'm not willing to take. I'm sure that Sony/BMG and EMI/Universal do this, but I'm thinking about some of the smaller indie labels.
you had to deliver 16/44 in order for ANY DIGItAL SERVICE iTunes,spotify,etc right from the start
In the last few years they have accepted 24 bit files.
This goes from my label to SONY/BMG etc...
