Hi. Trying out Tidal to use with Roon. How do you know if a track/album is in Atmos on Tidal? I see nothing labeled as Atmos? I added the Stones Tattoo You and it just says Master or HiFi for example. Am I missing something? Thanks

Roon doesn’t support Atmos through Tidal. You’d need to browse Tidal’s Atmos tracks through a supported device.
 
I released an Atmos track, it is downtempo, and the objects are well separated in space and time. So I think cool to check your system:

I put the link to Tidal, but I have only the free web version of Tidal, so no way for me to verify it is in Atmos. If someone could confirm it, that would be awesome.

Also I’m listening to this excellent album, which is a quadraphonic recording released in atmos format:
https://music.apple.com/us/album/decades-in-space/1582605338And a friend released this:
https://music.apple.com/us/album/rojarojo-spatial-version/1580123001?i=1580123002
In the electronic genre, I found Kraftwerk, Vangelis, but many recordings seem to have been remixed by movie audio engineers, and the surround speakers are just here to add some ambience, and not do a truly immersive experience.

I found a few cool albums in this thread, pity you cannot do search on Apple Music like “electronic” and “atmos”, as categories are “curated” categories.

Gregorian - Pure Chants
Everything as expected here.

Has anyone been able to play this on Tidal? It comes when searching using my desktop web browser, but searching on the device that I actually use to play atmos music on my AVR, my Nvidia Shield Pro, it does not come up. I even tried searching by the 9-digit numeric code in the url but that returns "No Results Found".

I attached the Tidal screenshot using a desktop web page that shows it is or at least once was available on Tidal.

Yes I know this, sorry for confusion. Didn't mean I want to play Atmos thru Roon. I have an Atmos set up and Apple Music app has a Dolby Atmos logo for tracks/albums that are in DA. I'm not seeing this in Tidal. My question remains how to know if something is offered in DA on Tidal? Thanks!

I don't have the Nvidia Shield TV Pro, I am using the 2015 Nvidia Shield TV. I am sitting on my Lazy Boy with one of our three Yorkshire Terriers on my lap, limited in what I can do without disturbing the baby. This is what my home screen shows when I open the app:

The Playlists are various curated lists by Tidal, including Dolby Atmos also. I don't recall doing anything specific that resulted in this home screen. The first time I saw this screen, I added all of the albums in Dolby Atmos I wanted to my collection. I am subscribed to the highest level of service.

If I search for Dolby Atmos. this is what I see:

Albums and artists available in Dolby Atmos.
 
Anyone have a link to Kiss Destroyer on Tidal? Thanks in Advance.
 
God of Thunder, Sweet Pain, and Shout it Out Loud are truly stand out tracks! SW got the most out of the bonus, "Beth acoustic", I could have ever imagined.
 

Good call @beerking. A surprise packet this one.

A fantastically consistent mix in my opinion- I have learnt that I must enjoy most surround in a bombastic theatrical style, and this one certainly fills the brief. Never would of thought Scarlet Johansen could hold a note- with no auto-tune that I could detect.

A couple added to my Atmos playlist. This one in particular was a very entertaining mix.
