Listening to Now (In Dolby Atmos)

[CINERAMAX]

Thanks for supporting the idea, should we just start a thread with all the suggestions? I have tried printing the Albums (folders) list but windows doesn't allow that, perhaps someone here has a printout that they can share.

Yes the only reason I keep Tidal is because they offer all atmos albums, it is a very annoying thing with apple music. We should explain that too.

is there a way to play this back through Apple TV in Atmos?

when i mirror the playlist from the Music app on my phone i only get the tracks in Stereo

I don‘t know but I think someone mentioned you can add a list over a PC!?

thank you, i will look into it

meantime it seems it is not possible to stream Atmos from the Tidal or Apple Music Apps on iPhone to an Apple TV using Screen Mirroring/AirPlay.

No but you can choose your Apple TV from your IPhone

I will add them, but I have it also in Kodi

Dweezil would love to, but it is up to Ahmet! Dweeze has no say over Frank's catalog.

Sounds like he intends on mixing his upcoming concerts in Atmos from his web page (maybe a hookup with Vai for an entire show just on Joe's Garage ). Hopefully he'll be an aggressive mixer and not just room ambience in the rears and heights. His "Zappa Plays Zappa" mix is fairly mild IMO.

There's some funny business going on in Apple Music today...some new found spatial audio...but they aren't...

Argent - In Deep, Blue Oyster Cult - Tyranny and Mutation, Azteca - Azteca, and Outkast - Stankonia; all listed as spatial audio but when you play them it's Dolby "AUDIO" not Atmos and comes up on my AVR as PCM 5.1. Actually the music plays out of only one speaker, the left, therefore MONO...sooooooooooooooooo WTF is going on?

And Switchfoot - The Beautiful Letdown & Isley Brothers - 3+3 shows under spatial audio but is actually lossless stereo...weirdness!!

Mostly Quad titles...

Searching/browsing on my ATV4K, I'm seeing The Isleys' 3 + 3 listed with the "Apple Digital Master" icon but not Atmos.

Azteca and Argent, meanwhile, do indeed display as "Dolby Audio," as you say, though for me they play back in quad. (My AVR detects them as "Multi-Channel In"--six channels with silent center & LFE.) Very exciting!

Will check out some of the others presently. Could this mean that Apple is getting access to Sony 360 content? If so, then that's a potentially huge catalog. Still a few bugs in the system, though, apparently...

Hopefully...but either way...quad or 5.1 or Atmos...works...

Stankonia was released as a 5.1 DVDA, and for me, it's playing in Apple Music as 5.1--but like the Sony Quads that have also started to show up, it has the new "Dolby Audio" designation that Eric noted. Could this be how we get access to OOP quads and 5.1s from this point forward? Apple is going to do not just Atmos content but also legacy MCh content? OMG, I'm gonna have to get used to Tim Cook being my new overlord...

I get the same result...Outkast, Azteca and Argent show as Multich PCM 5.1 but plays in one speaker... for a mono experience...

That's what I'm thinking. Quite a few OOP gems showing up as "Atmos/Spacial" titles. E.g. The Social Network. F&#k spending $100+ on a blu-ray now...

I may have to try out an experiment...I can send 5.1 from my Mac Book Pro to my AVR...perhaps that will get me the "quad" and 5.1 titles...hmmmmmmmmmmm...

Dang. Gotta be something going on with your rig, no? Hopefully you can figure it out.
