Apple Music subscribers can now listen to Dolby Atmos spatial audio and lossless songs at no extra cost
India Today
Apple said there are over 20 million songs available in lossless quality right now.
Apple Music now lets you listen to music in Dolby Atmos and lossless quality free of cost. At the Apple Music Spatial Audio event, Apple rolled out support for spatial audio, which brings the Dolby Atmos standard for music, and high-resolution lossless music to Apple Music. The best part is that Apple Music subscribers do not need to pay anything extra to enjoy the premium music quality standards. Apple said that Dolby Atmos is now featured in a huge catalogue of titles from across artists and genres, while lossless music is also available for several of them. Spatial Audio will bring more depth to the music, such as the position of an instrument in a chorus, and immersive 3D sound. Apple Music will offer Dolby Atmos-tuned music on AirPods and Beats headphones with W1 or H1 chipset. However, the company said some other headphones are also compatible. As for lossless music, Apple is offering both CD quality and high-resolution lossless quality standards to customers, but the latter would require an external DAC for compatibility with headphones and earphones. And these two audio qualities will not be turned on by default, in which case, you will be listening to the standard AAC format. Apple said there are over 20 million songs available in lossless quality, which pretty much covers a wide range of genres. But Apple wishes to bring the lossless quality to its entire catalogue of over 75 million songs by the end of 2021. Apple has even put up different playlists with their thumbnail telling Apple Music subscribers about the new lossless format. The catalogue of music with support for spatial audio, however, is smaller than that of the lossless music, but Apple is touting Dolby Atmos songs from some of the renowned artists, bands, and labels. Apple will gradually add more tracks with Dolby Atmos support to Apple Music.
