Music streaming on Apple Music in 5.1 (Dolby Audio)

[Cheezmo]

its a shame the Quads of Deodato 2 & Body Talk didn't show up in the U.S. but we always have the DV SACDs, thank goodness!

oh! that's unfortunate!
if you add the Playlist to your Library do you get all songs that are available in the U.S. beyond 300?

I'm running pretty close to the 100k song limit in Apple Music so I'm not going to try adding the entire playlist to my library (although I already had everything except those 2 albums so far), so I'll leave that test to someone else.

Nice! Turns out I have missed a couple.

This is mine:

there's a limit of 100k!?
i better stop willy-nilly adding everything in Atmos to my Library!!

I was wondering if there's some kind of limit on the Library, I usually just add the whole album anyway; even if only a track or two is Atmos. Maybe I should re-consider

if anybody knows how to share Playlists on QQ now (used to work.. but then again so did i! ) that'd be jolly nice

TEST:
(mine is a mix of both Atmos and Dolby Audio) but it worked to share via copying the link...3 dots and share!

Have their been any recent releases of "Dolby Audio"?

Yeah...I wonder if they're rethinking that whole category. I hope not.

I think someone mentioned a recent 360RA release that was good...

Sly's Small Talk, maybe? Seems like that was the most recent "Quad 360" to show up on Apple as Dolby Audio. I could be wrong.

it never materialised in Dolby Audio on Apple Music UK, sadly

It was the Cheap Trick 360 I couldn't remember earlier that was recently added...

Apologies if this has already been posted, I did a search and couldn't find anything .

Stumbled across this when looking for Jeff Beck in Atmos and really love it , it's a very discrete 5.1 Dolby Audio mix , takes some getting used to, but music is great

 

[privateuniverse]

Sampled a few cuts from this. The music's not bad but the mix is unimpressive.

So then I moved on to an old school quad:

Despite being a fan of Dan's early work, I had never actually heard the album. Music is decent but I like the surrounding albums (Souvenirs and Nether Lands) much more. Mix is nice and discrete but I don't think the drums isolated in the rear right channel work for this. (However, if Mr. Dutton wanted to apply his magic dust to it, I'd certainly buy).

Oh, and there was a recent post from someone with a link to a website of his that listed everything that he knew was available for streaming, that's where I discovered that the Fogelberg quad was on Apple. For the life of me though, I can't find that post now. So a big thank you to whoever that was! And my apologies for not giving you the proper credit.

I thought the quad sounded rather muddy as well (just like the SQ LP), but the stereo version on Apple Music isn't much better to my ears. I'd also be curious to hear what Dutton could wring out of it.

This isn't a complete list, but just in case you're seeking out more vintage quads unavailable on disc:

• Blue Oyster Cult - Tyranny & Mutation
• Edgar Winter Group - They Only Come Out At Night
• Edgar Winter Group - With Rick Derringer
• Johnny Winter - John Dawson Winter III
• Johnny Winter - Saints & Sinners
• Isley Brothers - Harvest For The World
• Isley Brothers - Go For Your Guns
• Blood Sweat & Tears - Greatest Hits
• Byrds - Byrdmaniax
• Manhattans - It Feels So Good
• Youngbloods - Best Of
• Lee Michaels - Nice Day For Something
• MFSB - Love Is The Message
• Mountain - The Best Of
• Michael Murphy - Swans Against The Sun

Looking forward to hearing that Fogelberg.

Wasn’t there also a Q8 for Love Is The Message, D-V did Philadelphia Freedom, wondering why he hasn’t tackled Love Is The Message yet?

Another reissue label must hold the rights to it in the UK.

His post was moved from the Atmos thread.

I guess if you post one of each in the same post you can't win!
