The track is messed up though, you can't add it to your library. If you try it just spins and spins. If you add the album to your library you get every track except for that one (track 2).

Yet another that is actually also on Tidal once I saw the mention here and searched but I've never seen it in the list of Atmos albums. Who knows how many more there are like that....

Once again, the lazy and cheap among us profit. Proud to be one of them
Yep any way you slice it we benefit because how much longer can Tidal charge double what Apple does, they'll have to drop their prices or lose customers.

There is an entire thread dedicated to this question:
https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/fo...ms-tests-results-questions-experiences.29057/
I would say that it all depends on the mixer. If the person mixing Atmos is also mixing a discrete 5.1 mix (DTS for example), then the 5.1 would likely be a proper mix-down (although it could also be an afterthought). If the person mixing Atmos is only mixing Atmos and not worrying about a true 5.1 mix at all, it would be a less discrete "not proper" mix in 5.1.
I mean, Apple Music is a loss leader for them. Easy to charge less for that.
yeah, that's a great thread, I need to go back and re-read it; this whole thing about down mixing or expanding the heights properly into the mix is still a...
Hi all, just got my Apple TV 4K today and when I plug it directly into my Marantz SR8015 via HDMI, it reads “Dolby Atmos” and I’m getting nice discreet 5.1 audio when streaming atmos titles from Apple Music. However, I’m having an issue and I think I saw some people talking about it here but my searches are coming up empty because I don’t know what word was being used to describe the “wooshing” or “warbling” effect that I’m hearing on everything.
Surely this is just a setting somewhere; can someone point me in the right direction toward the fix? Apologize for the duplication if it’s somewhere else…

Gah, I needed to select 5.1 streaming in the AppleTV settings since I don't have a full blown atmos setup, and that cleared it up.

I just cancelled my Tidal and Roon accounts after several years' subscriptions. As a consumer, I appreciate good quality and good value. I believe I get both with Apple Music. I would reconsider my cancellations if Tidal reduced their monthly fee and Roon added Apple Music.

Please point me to the thread posts if this question has already been asked: With Apple Music, it was said that any song purchased through iTunes previously would not contain hi res even though it may be hi res now via Apple Music. I was playing The Division Bell last night through Apple Music, and I was getting hi res lossless for that album, except for the 3 songs I had purchased a few years ago and still have on iTunes. In order to play these songs in hi res lossless, I had to delete them from iTunes first. Is there an easy way to keep iTunes separate from Apple Music without getting rid of it? I mean, I could just scrap iTunes all together. I'm sure nearly everything I have there is available on Apple Music, but if I walk away from Apple Music at some point, it would be nice to still have my iTunes library.
This morning I downloaded some Atmos tracks to my iPhone and connected my phone to my 2019 Acura RDX via CarPlay to see what happens. Well, the Atmos tracks didn’t playback in discrete multichannel (disappointing but not unexpected), nor did they playback as regular stereo tracks.
I thought that the DTS Neural setting was affecting things and it was. Even turning DTS Neural off didn’t really fix things. Both playback experiences just sounded kind of weird.
Has anyone experimented with CarPlay and Atmos?

I have to admit I’m loving this more and more. I’ll probably still buy big box releases on bands I love but I admit this makes it hard too. the ease and convenience is great.
That’s good to know. I have the ATV4K feeding a Marantz SR6010 with Atmos capability with a 5.1 speaker set up.
Listened to this last night. Bit of a weird mix on this one with vocals sounding quite distant. Track number 5 for eg states it was with Lana Del Rey. You could hardly hear her in the mix.

Jep, exactly my thoughts.
Not 100% sure, but it looks like this one has recently dropped on Atmos. Noticed full album now on Apple Music. (Was only one track previously.) Australian artist whom did half time show at AFL grand final a couple of years back. Welcome to the Madhouse by Tones And I
