Filter Dolby Atmos Tracks in my library?

Hi,

I have a bit of an over the top audio setup whereby I have a Sonos Arc, 1 x Sub Gen 3 & 2 x Era 300’s. As well as this setup I have 2 x Sonos fives for listening to music in stereo format. I can’t listen to stereo music on a surround sound set up as it sounds awful. I couldn’t even come to listen to Atmos tracks on my previous set up which included the Sonos Ones as the rears. Now that I have swapped them with the Era 300’s listening to Atmos music on this system has been transformed from night into day; it’s really good. However, listening to Stereo format on this setup is still a terrible experience, which is to be expected.

As an Apple Music subscriber, is there a way I can easily filter Stereo from Atmos, so that I can change to the desired system depending upon format?

Hi Freakfish,

Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.

There isn't a way to filter songs that are in Stereo versus Dolby Atoms. However, you may be able to locate the songs with the steps in the "Frequently asked questions"section here: About Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos in Apple Music

Take care.

Hi,

it is beyond me how Apple could not allow users of its service to filter the audio master of a track or Album, especially when their hardware puts an emphasis on spatial audio. It’s not until i stumble across an album or tack I know it’s mastered in Atmos. There’s not even an option to filter Lossless or High Resolution audio. It’s a shame, I hope they bring such a simple filter to their service.
