Dolby Atmos Support for Apple Music Windows application

Apple quietly released an important software update that is closely related to Windows users. With this latest update to the Windows version of Apple Music, which replaced iTunes in 2023, Dolby Atmos -supported spatial sound content can now be played on Windows computers. Thus, the three -dimensional and impressive sound experience of Apple Music was not limited to Apple devices.

Dolby Atmos technology, the sound to move freely on the horizontal and vertical axes, puts the audience in the center of the sound. In this way, the experience of listening to music becomes more deep and realistic. According to the Apple’s support article on the website, the most up -to -date version of the Apple Music application must be downloaded via Microsoft Store. In addition, the Dolby Atmos audio code solvent is not located in Windows systems, as users also need to install the Dolby Access application.

Additional application is required for the use of Dolby Atmos

Dolby Access is offered free of charge for use with external speakers, while users who want to experience Dolby Atmos experience over headphones need to pay a $ 14.99 license fee. At this point, it can be said that the cost may be an obstacle for users. Although Apple aims to reach the Dolby Atmos feature to the masses as much as possible, this paid model can limit some users.

However, in the systems where the required applications are installed, it is sufficient for users to manually activate Dolby Atmos support from Apple Music settings. According to the user reviews in Reddit, the content compatible with Dolby Atmos after the new update can be played smoothly on the application. On the other hand, it is noteworthy that all content has not yet provided Dolby Atmos support, and that this support is particularly limited to the pieces of Apple’s own cure.

Apple’s innovation for the Windows platform is considered part of the company’s services to a wider user base. In addition to Apple Music, Apple TV and Apple Devices are available free of charge to Windows users via Microsoft Store. Especially thanks to the Apple Devices application, backup and restore iOS devices can be done on Windows computers.

In any case, the addition of Dolby Atmos support to Apple Music’s Windows version reveals his determination to open Apple’s media services to a wider audience, not only to its ecosystem, but to a wider audience. For users, this development offers the opportunity to carry high quality sound experience to the desktop environment. However, additional license costs and limited content support can be decisive on the prevalence of this experience.
