Spatial Audio, powered by Dolby Atmos, is an immersive audio format that allows sounds to be placed in a three-dimensional space around the listener. Unlike traditional stereo, which has a left and right channel, Spatial Audio can deliver sound from above, below, and all around. It's designed to create a more enveloping and realistic listening experience. Apple Music has heavily invested in promoting Spatial Audio as a premium feature for its subscribers, and they need a vast catalog of Spatial Audio content to make this feature compelling.
