Music streaming on Apple Music in 5.1 (Dolby Audio)

[beerking]

tvOS 15.2 has been released so everyone should feel free to update to eliminate that Dolby Audio/Atmos channel bug and free yourself from hanging on the skip back button.

Cheers Cheezy

By jove it worked!!

This is a very nice recording and a really sweet mix. Thanks for pointing it out

What?? Janis Joplin's greatest hits were never issued in Quad (nor 5.1 for that matter) !

my mistake, sorry, the album says its in 360 RA but in actuality its the Pearl & Cheap Thrills Quad tracks on that compilation that are in 360 RA, 4 out of 12 tracks are Stereo only.

The Cheap Thrills tracks are probably sourced from the SACD 5.1 remix.

Here I am again wondering what Janis Joplin in 360º on Tidal has to do with 5.1 on Apple Music?

We are all hoping that it becomes available on Apple music in Dolby audio eventually.

i can't remember now but afaik every Quad and 5.1 that's appeared on Apple Music in Dolby Audio so far was previously released in 360 RA form on Tidal and/or Amazon Music Unlimited, so fingers crossed its an indication of things to come on Apple Music

Well, got mine set up tonight and listened to the "rock in atmos" list. Lots of fun! I didn't do any A/B comparisons but it's certainly enveloping.

Hi again! I talked to Apple’s support desk, and they stated that only Atmos and no 5.1 was possible to get from Apple Music through Apple tv. Anyone who can confirm if this is true or not? (The information on Apples internet page is quite unclear about 5.1, as is the information in the app itself)

all the best

It is not true. There are many albums (tagged as Dolby Audio, not Dolby Atmos) that are delivered in 5.1. There was never any real announcement about it and probably not many people outside of this forum have noticed or care, so not at all surprised they wouldn't know about it.

Those people at apple ex customer service people dont know sh*t about music...their 20-30 year old earbud generation. U must speak to them using their apple terminology.... "Dolby Audio"
