Dolby Atmos is a surround-sound audio format that allows sound to be heard in an immersive, three-dimensional audio experience with compatible stereo headphones and speakers. Apple's Spatial Audio technology takes Dolby Atmos content and applies its own directional audio filters to make sounds appear to be coming from all around you.

The feature was added in version 1.1284.20225 of ‌Apple Music‌ for Windows. A new Apple Support document called "Play Dolby Atmos in Music on Windows" explains how to use it on a PC.

‌Apple Music‌ for the iPhone, iPad, Mac, Vision Pro, Apple TV, and Android already supported Dolby Atmos audio. Spatial Audio via Dolby Atmos debuted on Apple's music streaming service in June 2021.

You would really have to glutton for punishment to be using Apple Music on Windows. I am stunned at how bad Apple Music still is, it has bugs galore on iOS and macOS.
My first experience with Apple products was iTunes on Windows. I kind of miss the simplicity.

The biggest mistake they made with Apple Music was trying to shoehorn the iTunes library management in with the streaming service. They should've spun old iTunes off as a separate utility for people who still want that.

Apple Music tries to be a music streaming app and a music library management app and does neither very well.

That's one (of several) reasons I don't use Apple Music. I don't want my personal music library mixed with streaming.
They screwed my music years ago with that stupid iTunes Match junk they did.
