For years, Apple Music's most advanced audio experience had been reserved for the devices of the brand itself. IPhone, iPad, Mac and even Apple TV users already knew what it was to immerse themselves in songs that seemed completely surrounding you, as if each instrument float around you. But if you used a PC with Windows, that privilege was not for you. Until now.
Since the beginning of April, Apple has activated the Compatibility with Dolby Atmos In the Apple Music version for Windows. This means that, for the first time, conventional computers users can access one of the greatest attractions of Apple's musical streaming platform: the space audio that converts any song into an enveloping and three -dimensional experience. And yes, it works with compatible stereo headphones or with speakers prepared for Dolby Atmos.
Wrapping sound in Apple Music
The update, which comes with version 1.1284.20225 of the program, marks an important change in Apple's strategy. It is no longer just about offering its closed ecosystem with the best of its technologies, but about opening the door for more users to discover the advantages of their musical service. After all, with giants such as Spotify or Amazon Music, stepping on your heels, Apple needs to differentiate itself. And the enveloping sound is one of those details that make a difference.
Dolby Atmos is not a simple sound effect. It is an audio format that places music in a three -dimensional space. Instead of limiting themselves to the traditional stereo channel, it allows sounds to move freely, as if they had their own life. The battery sounds just behind you, the main voice comes ahead and the choirs float on top. When Apple introduced the Space audio In 2021, he sold it as a revolution, and the truth is that, with good headphones, the difference is noted. It's not just listening to music: it's being inside her.
To activate this function on a Windows computer, it is only necessary Update Apple Music to the latest available version and follow the instructions collected in a new Apple support document entitled “Play Dolby Atmos in music for Windows“. There is explained step by step how to configure the equipment and what devices are compatible.
Of course, it should be taken into account that not all computers or headphones can take advantage of this novelty. Hardware is needed that admit Dolby Atmos or, at least, the ability to simulate it effectively. But if you already have a decent team and good helmets, you are probably prepared for the jump.
With this movement, Apple not only improves its music app for Windows, which for a long time was quite limited, but launches a wink to the millions of PC users that may be considering which streaming service hired. Until now, if you wanted enveloping sound and had a Windows, it was best to look for other options. But now, Apple Music enters that battle hard.
So now it is a good time to give a chance to Apple Music. The Dolby Atmos is not just one more label: it is a completely different way of living your favorite songs. And now, finally, you don't need an iPhone to enjoy it.
