Apple Music's New Spatial Audio Feature Launches Today

[sarowz]

here you go! I just got mine enabled, and it's a sick listening experience. Damn Dolby and Hi-res lossless is heavelny.

I’m on iPhone 11 - nothing has shown up in music app settings BUT I’m able to follow the link posted earlier in this thread to the spatial/atmos playlists. Interestingly if I don’t follow that link and just open the music app I can’t find those playlists. Follow the link!

Found a bug: if you have a song downloaded on your device (and it’s obviously non-Atmos version), it will play instead of the Atmos version. So I went ahead and deleted all downloaded music from my devices.

Not sure if that’s a bug. What you have downloaded is the old, non-atmos music file. Deleting it and redownloading it will download the atmos enabled file.

But it definitely should automatically redownload the atmos version.

Does Apple Watch support Dolby Atmos and Lossless? Just wondering whether the songs I stream on my cellular Apple Watch while running will be spatial audio...? Anyone know?

There's a newer article about all of this on the front page now. But I'm gonna stay right here, where all the cool kids are.

Finally showed up on my MacOS:

I just listened to Colores since it was a featured spatial audio album and for the life of me I can’t tell any difference. Mono still sounds much better to me. Maybe my ears are broken?

Looks like there are much more tracks in Atmos than in Apple featured collection, so… go explore 🙂

Is anyone else experiencing lossless/Atmos appearing but then disappearing? I got it to enable by toggling Sync Library. I even downloaded a high-res lossless album. Sometime later I discovered it was no longer available. (It reverted to the pre-lossless/Atmos settings UI.) I toggled Sync Library again, and it became enabled. But now it is unavailable again.

I got it to show up on my iPhone 12 mini / iOS 14.6 just now by going into the Music settings and randomly toggling on and off things like "Automatic Downloads" and "Cellular Data." After doing that a few times, the settings for Atmos suddenly showed up.

I’m finding the Atmos logo missing from albums, but it shows up when I play the tracks. Is that your experience?

It worked thanks my friend. Your a Apple God! Now I’m excited…not going to bed tonight. I have hours of listening 👂

Look at this….dang!

 

[Spinrite]

This made me have a bowel movement.

 

[Spinrite]

Look!

 

[Karma*Police]

Looks like another fail by Eddy Cue.

 

[Spinrite]

Amazing noticeable expansive sound.

 

[smithrh]

It's on my iPhone but no joy on MacOS yet - which is unfortunate because that's where I can use some wired IEMs...

ETA: Can definitely hear the difference with lossless...

 

[Rivanov]

It’s sounds fantastic!!

 

[Skylar.]

Finally got it and I notice no difference. Granted, I’m using AirPods 2nd gen, but I thought those were supported?

Just showed up on both of my iOS 15 devices. in control center it actually says Dolby Atmos.
