How are music downloads 'upsampled'?


When I download music from iTunes, it comes in at maybe a 4mb file. When I change it to an 'Apple Lossless' file, it becomes a 20mb file. Where does that new data come from?

No use in converting mp3 to apple lossless just uses up more hard drive space. You could even go all out and convert to 24/192. I have to wonder if that is all they have done with some of the hi Rez downloads they are selling now. I have closely compared some and cannot hear a bit of difference. Just another way for the record companies to try and screw us.
