Music streaming on Apple Music in 5.1 (Dolby Audio)

[JCDC]

Hi!

Long time lurker, first time poster.

I've been following this thread with great interest and it's been exciting to watch the amount of great sounding mixes appear on Apple Music each week.

A while ago, I went through all the quad mix lists here on QQ and made a playlist of albums that I would like to hear on Apple Music. I check it most Fridays to see if anything has been updated and then remove anything into my library.

I've only checked through the list today after seeing so many recent updates on this thread and I was pleased to see this addition.

It seems these records are being updated at a real pace now. With Apple reporting that 50% of its users are listening in Spatial Audio, I can only hope that we'll see so much more to come.

Personally, I'm really looking forward to hearing Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Dave Mason, Janis Joplin and Santana. May this glorious surround era continue!

I seemed to have messed up here. How do I get those neat Apple links to show in my post?

first 8 tracks in Quad; also, lacks the reprise of the opening track (which is a bonus at the end of the Vocalion MultiCh SACD) which was also on the Quad 8-track tape

Just copy and paste (and ditch the "embed." bit, then hit preview to see if the link morphs):

the potential Quad list is full of great albums!
let's hope all these and more come to Apple Music in Dolby Audio soon!

tracks 1-8 are the original Quad in Dolby Audio quality; track 9's Lossless Stereo only.

I just remembered that BS&T's GH was once slated for MC-SACD release - perhaps this is the quad transfer they did for that years ago and didn't use? It'd be nice if they could also find the announced/unreleased 5.1 mixes of Ramsay Lewis' Sun Goddess and Herbie Hancock's Future Shock.

So they’re hiding a Texas Flood also?

 

[humprof]

A flood! It would be great, following @JCDC's lead, to create a running, publicly available, comprehensive list of quad and 5.1 titles available on Apple Music and Tidal.
