Tidal Adds Dolby Atmos Music

[MrSmithers]

It's interesting to see how many of those Sony 360 reality albums were released in Quad. This could be a great development! I presume that the quad mix must be the foundation of the 360 mix? Surely no one's going to pull out the masters for say Henry Mancini & Doc Severinsen - Brass, Ivory & Strings to create a new mix? Or even go to the effort of creating an upmix?

yeah the stuff i looked at (EW&F, Isley Bros) was definitely the Quad mixes

 

[Krmt]

Yes. And hopefully that also would mean that the multitracks are still available in digital format and there is still hope to get those not yet released ones out in proper digital surround format some day.

Well let’s hope they get a bloody move on so we can listen to ‘em properly... Might try and run the Space Oddity 360 mix through the SM for the time being...

So, I thought maybe I could use my Oppo 103 to stream Tidal. Sure enough, it has the app. Per instructions on Tidal, I downloaded the Oppo Media Control app on my iphone. It then asks for Tidal login info.......I type it in...and it tells me Invalid Token. Try again, and again...same error. Jesus, what a complete cluster fuck.

Have got a support ticket lodged with Oppo regarding this as apparently it has been reported to Tidal who state the problem is with Oppo to resolve

 

[olgitnorm]

Wow got a very quick response from Oppo saying they are aware of the problem and are looking into it

 

[MrSmithers]

I guess they found the multis to Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama"...

This is the live version as well unfortunately... And nowhere near as good as Scheiner's 5.1 from Southern Surroundings. Muffled ambience...

 

[olgitnorm]

Turn off the HDMI-CEC in the TV settings, should do the trick.

Thanks for that but have now found solution without changing any settings.....turn off tv sound stops but then a simple press of the play/pause button on the Apple TV remote starts playback from where it stopped

Bro has set it up and says it's quite good.
And he is really fussy with what sounds right, even more than me!!
Yes, that is possible!!
Not a lot of choice in what we know, he says, offering the later day tunes instead.

 

[beerking]

Although , in his view it's not worth the expense of an Apple box. He says the new Atmos mixes are better than the up-mixed older tunes.
And you do have to pump up the volume!!
He says wait until the firestick is sorted.

Below are links to browse for the Atmos and 360 reality audio playlists and albums in tidal:

360 reality audio music in Tidal

Spotted also that if you browse the tracks from the atmos link, there are some ones that I didn't see in any of the playlists. For example GnR - Welcome to the Jungle (Greg Penny mix) and Iggy pop - Passenger. Probably several others as well.

Cool! Thanks for contacting them. I eagerly wait for their fix....though I have my doubts that once it's fixed...that it will allow true Atmos streaming.

One step at a time

Thanks for the link, I identified quite a few not found on playlists...
Mr. Roboto
Bad to the Bone
Bad Case of Loving You
Tubthumping
American Pie
Rock n Roll All Nite

 

[MrSmithers]

Ohh this is good, quite a few more to find perhaps...

I also spotted
Video Killed The Radio Star - The Buggles
My Prerogative - Bobby Brown
Re-Arranged - Limp Bizkit (cool mix)
These Dreams - Heart

Possible I just missed them in the playlists...

Quite liking the Welcome To The Jungle mix!

 

[EricKalet]

I put together a quick playlist of Atmos songs if anyone wants to take a look and I'll be adding more later today.

Can anybody provide an actual working link to all the currently available Atmos music tracks? Nothing online links to anything but ads.

I have been following this thread and quite enjoyable. You all have a good handle on things. I also did some reading and You Tube watching and the consensus I get is that it is catching up on all fronts, apps, TV's, film and music releases. Looks like the easy part is the actual set up of speakers and AVR's in Atmos.
I am also quite pleased is that it looks like Atmos is for real and not just another thing that won't be here in two years. from what I can tell it started in 2012 and just keeps growing. I am looking very forward to getting my Atmos set up and grateful for you PIONEERS getting things sorted out.

So, it appears the Roku does have the Tidal app. Unfortunately, my Roku Premier is connected to my wifes TV. I mean, I have it secured via velcrow type stuff. It ain't coming off. Dammit. That said, I've been reading on Roku forum and sounds like folks are having similar issues as Fire Stick. What in the MF is going on with all these devices not working? Ugh. Bummer, cause the Roku Premier is very reasonable ($49) and in stock...more or less.
