Size of Atmos Catalog

[Franck]

What would be the size of the Dolby Atmos catalog on Streaming services now?1%? May be more if you consider tracks with a minimum of plays?

I did not yet find an answer to your question, but here are some eye-opening stats about streaming music:

Well @austinsignal says that Ben Dodson's Dolby Atmos/Audio scraper has found 350,000 tracks: https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/fo...tidal-apple-amazon.31491/page-571#post-789386

Apple's own page claims 100 million songs total, on any format: https://www.apple.com/apple-music/

Quick math returns 0.35%.

So less than 1% but you have to assume a large number of that 100 million are obscure catalogue releases that get next to no plays

A little incentive offered to deliver “spatial music.”

Found this from @beerking on another thread. Cool idea from Mr. Dodson, who is mentioned above:

Here are some stats from Dolby about Atmos integration:

• Many streaming services support Atmos: Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, Vibe, and lots more
• Many DAWs support Atmos music creation and mixing: Avid Pro Tools, Steinberg Nuendo, Steinberg Cubase, Apple Logic Pro, PreSonus Studio One, Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve, Merging Technologies Pyramix

It’s Already in Customers’ Hands​

• Many consumers already have Atmos-enabled devices even if they don’t realize it
• If there is a Spatial master on Apple Music, then the stereo mix you hear is derived from a downmix of the immersive master mix

Even the point of sale devices at my local emergency vet support Atmos
