A streaming service that is restricted to the ATMOS format may just further increase the difficulty that fans have in finding immersive music, as there is such a large variety of formats that would be excluded. There are rumors about Dolby Digital launching an ATMOS-streaming service soon, but fans will have to wait to see when that happens and what immersive formats that will include.
Ultimately, low demand and technological difficulty prevent many sites and marketplaces from being able to justify keeping up their already-limited online distribution of surround sound formats. There is of course some streaming available from a select number of services, including Tidal for one, but lossless quality is difficult to guarantee. Not for lack of trying - in fact there have been several efforts over the years, including Japan’s Onkyo Music which is closing up their Dolby TrueHD 5.1 online shop only this year. It is also quite difficult to distribute this music given the limitations of consumers in actually hearing the final product, as they may not have the technology needed to support it.Īs a result, there is no single, widespread, popular solution for downloading surround sound music. This is partly due to limitations on the side of recording artists, since it is substantially more expensive and time-consuming to create and produce music in surround sound than in stereo. However, it is also a complex process that has yet to break into the mainstream of the music industry. Surround sound music is undoubtedly superior for its many channels of listening that create a true “immersive” experience. Dedicated to the appreciation of surround sound and immersive audio formats, we want to provide downloadable music to fans interested in trying new music in the formats they desire.
Surround sound music is now available for download on our platform.
