Spatial Audio on Apple Music Promoted in New 'Beyond Stereo' Ad

It ruins songs, trust me someone that has been in music production for years it makes songs sound like they are demos and give you a fake surround sound that ruins the original song;

I'm yet to be convinced from the handful of tracks I tried it with before switching back to Stereo.

The conversion is fully automated

My understanding is that it’s the exact opposite. A human has to place the sound sources in three dimensional space during the production of the Atmos track. if It were automated, every existing track would already be available, but they’re not.

I wish they’d give us a quick button in the music app to turn Dolby Atmos off for specific songs. Some sound better, some sound a lot worse. Would be great if we could just tap the atmos button the toggle on and off.

It’s nice, but no doubt there will be a bunch of people on here claiming it’s awful after only listening to it for 10 seconds.

I am a little confused by some of the songs they chose to add to spatial audio first though, as not every song is immediately better upon first release of the new sound.

I am actually really shocked Daft Punk wasn’t included in the original release of songs, as I’m sure their music will sound amazing in Atmos. Maybe that will be a separate highlighted release though.

Spatial audio sounds worse than the normal song.
