You can now listen to Apple Music in Dolby Atmos audio on Galaxy Books

Apple Music is one of the best music streaming services in the world right now. Besides regular features found on other platforms, Apple Music also features Dolby Atmos for immersive audio, but that feature was not available on Windows until now. Now, you can now stream music on Apple Music in Dolby Atmos on Galaxy Books.

Galaxy Book (and other Windows OS device) users can now stream music in the Dolby Atmos format using the native Apple Music app for the Windows operating system. The feature was added with version 1.1284.20225 of Apple Music. Apple has just published a support document that explains how to use Dolby Atmos on Apple Music on devices running Windows. It will work well with Galaxy Book models that have Dolby Atmos-supported speakers.

Dolby Atmos offers spatial audio for a better surround sound effect, and it is the world's most popular spatial audio format. Unlike previous surround sound formats like Dolby Audio, Dolby Digital Plus, and DTS, Dolby Atmos doesn't have set number of audio channels. Instead, it places sounds in three-dimensional space, including height. So, it scales well on a variety of headphone and speaker setups.

Apple brought Dolby Atmos support in Apple Music in June 2021. Earlier, the feature was only available on Android, iOS, iPadOS, macOS, and tvOS. Now, it is also available on Windows. DTS:X and Sony 360 Reality Audio are some of the other competing spatial audio formats, and the latter is available on Amazon's Prime Music in addition to Dolby Atmos.

You can install the Apple Music app on your Galaxy Book laptop or PC from the Microsoft Store. Dolby Atmos is still missing from the Apple Music app for Tizen OS, which is used on Samsung's TVs and smart monitors.
