Downloading spatial audio (atmos) tracks from apple music outputs stereo

[jan-bertle]

I have tried downloading some tracks with spatial audio (atmos) from apple music but once they are converted the atmos multi channels are lost and only stereo remains.

Example link: https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/top-100-2023-spatial-audio/pl.23783225842f417b8b7edc3e992991c1

Is there any way to get the full number of channels of the tracks?

Greetings

Hi, the audio tracks aren't pulled from apple music. It's just the metadata that is. The audio source is YouTube and so we only work with the data from it. Which, I believe, doesn't include spatial information.

Oh that explains it. Thanks for clarifying.

Do you know of any other project that sources directly from apple music?

Unfortunately not, not at this moment anyway. If you do find one, feel free to mention to help others.

Ok, thanks anyway!
