I pay for Tidal’s highest tier because you can get a fairly high number of albums in Dolby Atmos which sounds great at home and even the AirPods Pro will do their spatial audio thing with 5.1-channel tracks. It’s not surprising that I can hear a difference in this situation, I suppose.
- wilg 3y agoFWIW Apple Music also has the Atmos versions of things
- ebb_earl_co 3y agoReally? Is there any way to download these? Because there’s a Python project to download the .m4a files containing the EAC-3 codec from Tidal that interests me the most.
- wilg 3y agoI would assume you can’t download them. https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/05/apple-music-announces-spatial-audio-and-lossless-audio/ https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2021/05/apple-music-announces...
- Pet_Ant 3y agoWhat albums are well mixed for Atmos? I had a 5.1 mix of The Black Album and it felt like a gimmick and it wasn’t actually leveraged artistically. I definitely have heard stereo mixes with thought given to the channels. Jagged Little Pill being one of them.
- ebb_earl_co 3y agoMost of ODESZA’s discography is in Dolby Atmos and it is sumptuous. Also, my favorite pianist, Ludovico Einaudi, has his Underwater album in 5.1. Tidal offers hundreds, but I only have about a dozen downloaded.
