At WWDC21, Apple announced that users will now experience spatial audio and lossless quality audio free of cost on Apple Music. But what does it mean? Let us break it down for you.
Spatial audio is the experience where the listener feels like the sound is moving around you and is coming from different directions. On the other hand, lossless quality audio preserves all the highs and lows of the track, just like the original track. Apple has introduced spatial audio supporting Dolby Atmos and lossless audio quality in Apple Music on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
How to enable spatial audio on Apple Music
Step 1: Open the Apple Music app and go to Settings
Step2: Settings>Music>Dolby Atmos
Step 3: Select the “Always On” option.
Once done, you will see a “Dolby Atmos” badge at the bottom of the track.
How to turn on lossless audio quality in Apple Music
Step 1: Open the Apple Music app and go to Settings
Step 2: Settings>Music>Audio quality
Step 3: Turn on the “Lossless audio” toggle and choose if you want this audio quality for “Cellular Streaming,” “WiFi streaming,” or “Downloads”
You will see a “Lossless” badge on the albums available in the lossless audio quality. Albums from music artists including J Balvin, Gustavo Dudamel, Ariana Grande, Maroon 5, Kacey Musgraves, The Weeknd, and more are available in lossless audio quality on the app.
