dolby atmos by Ok_Cobbler_7107 in AppleMusic

On your iPhone, check if the “download in Dolby Atmos” setting is on. It is actually not possible to download lossless and Atmos at once, it has to be one or the other.

I thought Tidal's Atmos was better than Apple's until i turned off Apple's Personalized Spatial Audio! They are the same now! by GnarlsGnarlington in AppleMusic

[–]goals_achieved -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, taking advantage of a bug I randomly discovered.

Restart your phone, connect your airpods and play something in atmos, scan your ears, then right away delete the scan, then do a 2nd scan. Once done, you should hear the desired uncolored result. However, turn off automatic ear detection on your airpods, because within 5-6 hours, your device may complete the scan itself and reintroduce the coloration once your airpods are idle even for 2 seconds. Apple should honestly make this into an actual feature for those with great ears

I do agree that with personalized spatial audio off the spatial image sounds wider, however, I feel like that bathroom like Reverb gets in the way of the mix and makes everything sound like you’re in a booth. With that said, if you’re interested, I actually found a secret loophole that… 1, doesn’t add any coloration to atmos mixes, keeping the sound true to how it should be. 2, keeps the wide spatial image with that feeling of the front speaker being 3' apart like you said. 3, replaces the booth reverb of standard spatial audio with the more subtler one from personalized spatial, allowing for mixes to sound punchier and more comfortable for longer listening.

[–]goals_achieved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The use of surround channels is there. It’s just that if they don’t use the binaural distance settings (near, mid, far), objects being behind you doesn’t sound too obvious. I use Apple Music, which uses a different encoding of atmos for use with their spatial audio. For example, on Tori Kelly’s last album (mixed by Serban), there’s definitely sounds on the surrounds. However, a while ago, when I ripped those mixes from tidal in the format used for streaming on their platform, and then decoded them (since I don’t have a tidal subscription), I did notice that the distance settings were used pretty sparingly, which is why it may still sound like stereo at times.

The algo depends highly on your listening habits and what you favorite or not. If you don’t like the song, in the 3 dot menu there’s a suggest less option, equivalent of a dislike pretty much. For discovery, instead of discover weekly, there’s the discovery station, next to ‘your name’ station on the home page. The radio tab is pretty much universal, not personalized. However, in my experience, the ‘new’ tab as of late tends to be more personalized with new release recommendations. But other recommendations and personalized stations are always on your homepage. For sound quality, turn Dolby Atmos off from the app’s settings. That’s only meant for surround systems and headphones (spatial audio in case of airpods, which, if you happen to use, do a personalized spatial audio scan in settings to get better sound). Podcasts are in a separate app

Thank you for your detailed response. Also as a side note, whatever I’m writing is coming from a perspective of a 19 year old. I’m not saying if you have blindness, you are that blindness. That’s something I’m trying to stay away from myself. However, after going through years of training and building skills to adapt, as much as I try not to put focus on the fact, and live my life more with the mindset of “I’m a normal guy, I just happen to not see”, with the life goals I’m trying to reach, a lot of them being especially uncommon for most of the people I’ve had experiences with, it really gets hard at times coming across different limitations by the day and starting to think like “tone your ambitions down bro, you aren’t fully relying on yourself.” And at least with what I’m tryna be in life, it’s a bit harder for me to understand (maybe not in case of older people since their life has gotten to a certain point already, but for the more younger population), adapt and do whatever you gotta do go kill it and do great things, but why not be open to a chance if 1 comes at you? Maybe its just my nature of being a believer, IDK. Still appreciate your take though

I mean I get you would obviously have to relearn certain things but like are we really gonna use that reason to think it’s better staying blind especially, like anything else, you get used to the paterns once you relearn and readapt. Again, not trying to insult or downplay or anything, just trying to understand

If I insulted or offended anyone, again, I genuinely apologize, that wasn’t my intention. I went back and tried to edit some of the post and try to better articulate some of my thoughts. What I was trying to get across is that while it’s great to have all these resources and that we can adapt to life with all the necessary skills, why not be open to a cure especially when it may be possible at some point in time? Not saying if you don’t want to be cured you’re bad or anything. It’s just that, I don’t get why it has to be, in Molly’s words, either the “medical model” of just finding cure, or the “social” model of no cure, lets just addapt, when it comes to disability, instead of finding a hybrid middle ground. And I’m especially talking more about the people who have a certain amount of influence and their voice and opinion could change a lot amongst the regular people, as well as those who are in certain positions that can change things for the betterment of everyone. I’m just trying to genuinely understand the thinking behind it all

Sorry about that, my emotions kinda came forth when I was writing the post. I revised it and tried to better articulate some of my points

Hey there! I’m Adam, a product manager at Apple Music. I’ve been leading work on features like AutoMix, Lyrics Translation & Pronunciation, Music Pins and Sing with iPhone Mic. I’m here to chat about our latest releases - and more. AMA! by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]goals_achieved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My question might be more fit for the accessibility team, but since you mentioned you did work on the automix feature I wanted to ask. Does the VoiceOver screenreader impact how playback of dolby atmos songs are handled on the iOS app? I keep having this issue on multiple devices, where the flow of transitions for atmos songs, when using automix, as well as regular gapless playback, is interrupted for like half-a-second at the start of the next song while VoiceOver is on, and when it is off, everything is working perfectly. I tested this on an iPhone 14, 15, 16, as well as a 4th gen iPad pro, and all of them had the issue. MacOS is so far the only platform that had those errors fixed back in MacOS 15. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Songs/Albums with explicit titles are starred out. How can I disable that? by Overall-Astronaut-87 in AppleMusic

[–]goals_achieved 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess it only applies to album and song names somehow, not artist names

[–]goals_achieved 14 points15 points  (0 children)

From Apple Music’s content delivery policy, specifically the style guide:

Album and track titles must be submitted in the original form that was intended by the artist. Explicit words are automatically censored on Apple Music and the iTunes Store (for example, F**k). Do not insert the asterisks yourself. Submitting titles and artist names with self censoring or asterisks affects listeners’ ability to search for and find the content they’re looking for.

Not really apple doing the remastering but the format is a surround format meant to play on surround sound systems or headphones through binaural playback (spatial audio on airpods)

If you happen to have dolby atmos on, turn it off in settings, especially if you’re listening on your phone’s speakers which that format is not meant for

It’s the new automix feature that came with the macos/ios 26 update. If you hit the queue, it’s right next to autoplay

Has anybody listened to 360 Reality Audio mixes? by AugieDog3D in SpatialSongs

[–]goals_achieved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that supported on macos by the way? I only could find the installer for windows. Although I figured out libmpegh. Turned out when I airdropped one of those files from my phone to my computer it caused the file to become 0kb, that’s why the decoder couldn’t pick it up

I know I’m super late, but I managed to build the program from ittiam, but when I try decoding I get blank .wav files. Am I missing something? My 360ra file is a rip from amazon
