Have you disconnected everything? Then reconnect and retry....it might work.Was trying to play some Atmos music on the ATV, but all the albums in my library was stereo!Tried a restart, but no help. I'm on the latest software. Tried a BD with Atmos, and it played fine, so the ATV is the problem.
Sister Golden Hair and Ventura Highway are genuine Atmos mixes (the latter with an asterisk). The rest--Sandman, I Need You, Everyone I Meet Is From California, Don’t Cross the River, Only In Your Heart, Muskrat Love, Another Try, Tin Man, Lonely People, Daisy Jane, Woman Tonight, and Today’s the Day--are what @fredblue calls "Schmatmos."
Thanks, @beerking--for this and for The 1975. Definitely worth a listen, both for the music and the mix. Strikes me as sort of a poor man's Lily Allen, though. I'd love to hear her first couple of albums properly mixed for Atmos.
Really liking this--both the mix and the music. I actually lived in the Twin Cities in the 80s and 90s, but breakout post-punk/grunge bands like Hüsker Dü, Soul Asylum, and The Replacements didn't really grab me then. (I was more into The Wallets and The Jayhawks--and their Chicagoland cousins Uncle Tupelo and Wilco.) Never too late to catch up!
It looks like Tidal removed the Atmos format version and added it to the 360RA selection. I haven't checked it yet but most likely the same mix, different format like the new Ozzy.
I have active mains and an Anthem receiver that allows me to easily shut down every speaker, so I can definitely tell that it's an "All channel stereo" track and not discrete. Every speaker outputs the same instruments and vocals on that song.
It's designed to deceive you - The first part has no surround whatsoever. Only halfway through the mindF begins
But..."I need you" does sound discrete, so they just got lazy on the first track?
Seems the problem was with the input I used for the ATV on my AVC.
Suddenly it would not decode Atmos. Moved to another input and Atmos was back again.
Yeah, it's for the 20th-anniversary celebrations. XL Recordings also have a 25-anniversary vinyl reissue of Prodigy's Fat Of The Land coming up in two weeks. It would be amazing to get this album (or any other '90s Prodigy album) in Atmos.
Predictable, and not worth bellyaching about. I'm a cheapskate, and I still consider Apple Music a good value. I'm not gonna start patting them on the back for their fair and ethical treatment of artists and songwriters, though. Even if Apple Music does better by artists--which is to say, in the vast majority of cases: labels--than Spotify, Amazon, and YouTube, it's all relative, and we're still only talking about tiny fractions of pennies per stream. I know this is apples and oranges (so to speak), but nobody in the streaming world holds a candle to Bandcamp when it comes to putting money in artists' pockets.
Just stereo Lossless here (with the Steven Wilson remix in High Res Lossless in an alternate variant). Though, it is 3 hours before the Apple backend starts to update…
