Both Amazon and Apple have announced that they will be providing better sound quality files to their subscribers, joining the likes of Qobuz and TIDAL that already offer high-end audio files to their subscribers.
Starting in June, Apple Music subscribers will have access a no extra cost to over 75 million tracks in CD quality Lossless Audio using ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec). The service will also start adding thousands of tracks in Spatial Audio, a format supporting DolbyAtmos, offering immersive audio experiences with multidimensional sound and clarity.
“Apple Music is making its biggest advancement ever in sound quality,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and Beats. “Listening to a song in Dolby Atmos is like magic. The music comes from all around you and sounds incredible. Apple Music as we know it is about to change forever.”
