Apple Joining the Atmos streaming game!

Welcome everyone to the great Apple Music surround hunt of 2021.

Bobbing for...

Yup, Big Science 2 is a bonus track on the Apple Music version of the album and they somehow attached an Atmos version of it to the Big Science track. Dumb.

That's crazy. But I've added it to my library. (Wolves and "yodelay-ee-hoo" in the left rear overhead, yet.)

If you want to hear the original "Big Science," your only choice is the Talk Normal anthology:

This is really bonkers - on my AppleTV, if Atmos is on and you listen to the track "Big Science" it plays an Atmos mix of "Big Science 2"!! Completely different recording not even on the original album. Hopefully it's a sign the album will be eventually be available in Atmos?
Meanwhile, anybody know how to let Apple know they made a mistake?

The track Big Science itself says it is Atmos

Right--but what deadpangerg and Cheezmo are saying is that it's mistitled. If you play that track, you'll hear that it's actually "Big Science 2" (in Atmos), not the original "Big Science."

Someone is reporting on SHF that the Blue Oyster Cult Tyranny & Mutation is the quad mix. I don’t have Apple music yet, but this will get me to join.

Weird. It is tagged as Dolby Audio and I only get sound from the left front speaker…

This really is a wonderful game changer from Apple.
And no fanfare ?

This is a huge game changer.I'll repeat that...

I have added BOC,but I have not played it yet.Tried In Deep from Argent and it was the quad mix. Good news,tried BOC now and it played back in quad. What a day for MC music.

See above

And its a darn good mix.

 

[mrcond]

Which settings do you mean?

I'm not sure. But I know it works for me so I know it isn't a problem at Apple's end, must be a setting somewhere that is causing it for you. I will see if I can figure anything out.

 

[beerking]

Cant wait for what else they will be streaming.
Apple got a cor from me...
I only sat down for a bite to eat in my lunch break and read the QQ news...wow...
I must get on ....I must get.....I must...I ...
Oh well, maybe another hour searching and listening...

 

[mrcond]

Which settings do you mean?

I have Apple TV 4K into my Denon AVR-X3600H via HDMI, and the sound settings to Direct, and the input signal at the AVR is showing as PCM 5.1 (even though the center channel is silent). I'm not sure that this helps, but that is what I have and it works for me.

 

[IMachine]

Well I have the same:
Denon x6200w, direct and rhe display shows multichannel, but only mono sound:

 

[IMachine]

Perhaps a problem because I have TvOS Beta 15.9 installed. I don‘t know

Very strange, I really don't know. Hopefully it will work itself out.
