Dolby Amos music playback is now available in Apple Music for Windows, reports MacRumors. The new feature brings true immersive audio to PCs with compatible hardware via Apple’s music streaming service for the first time.
Dolby Atmos is a surround sound audio format developed by Dolby Laboratories. It expands on existing surround sound systems by adding height channels, interpreted as three-dimensional objects with neither horizontal nor vertical limitations. Apple’s Spatial Audio technology takes Dolby Atmos content and then applies its own directional audio filters to make sounds appear to be coming from all around the listener.
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” walks Windows users on how to use it on a Windows PC.
