The genre is rooted in community, and those communities each interact with the genre in different ways, establishing and spreading regional sounds, touchstones, and sub-genres. But certainly, in hip-hop, your geographic roots are very important.

But Mobb Deep said, "It ain't where you're at, it's where you're from." Truth is, both are right.

Apple’s move to offer a competing service at a lower price point (that also pays the artists more) should make Apple Music more popular,

The music comes from all around you and sounds incredible.”Īmazon introduced Amazon Music HD at $14.99/m in 2019 and Spotify has confirmed its intention to offer HD music at some point. “Listening to a song in Dolby Atmos is like magic. “Apple Music is making its biggest advancement ever in sound quality,” said Oliver Schusser, Apple’s vice president of Apple Music and Beats. I think most people will choose to use standard lossless at 48kHz. To listen to Hi-Res Lossless (24-bit/192 kHz) you’ll also need an external digital-analog-converter. It works on iPhones, iPads and Macs, so long as you’re using a wired connection to speakers or headphones, the built-in speakers on the device. You can set this up using the same cluster of tools as you’ll use for Dolby Atmos. These music files are much larger than AAC files currently are, so you may not want to use this, particularly if on a limited bandwidth connection. Apple has changed that, and while I think most people won’t really be able to tell the difference, some will claim to be able to do so.Īpple uses ALAC ( Apple Lossless Audio Codec) to preserve every single bit of the original audio file.

To get a Dolby Atmos version of a song that you already downloaded from Apple Music, just delete the song and redownload it from the Apple Music catalog. You then need to use your HomePod as the audio output.

The only way you can currently use Dolby Atmos on HomePod is to drive the audio from an Apple TV 4K updated to tvOS 14.6. Use these controls on Apple Music on Mac What about HomePods?
