Apple Incentivizes Artists with Higher Payments for Atmos Music
TL;DR Summary
Apple is reportedly planning to give "added weighting" to songs that offer a Dolby Atmos mix, potentially increasing the royalties that artists receive from Apple Music. The change, which hasn't been officially announced yet, aims to further promote the adoption of the immersive audio format. Apple supports Dolby Atmos across its devices, while other tech players like Amazon and Sonos also offer Atmos-optimized speakers. Spotify, on the other hand, still does not support spatial audio listening. Apple's move could help strengthen its standing with artists and publishers amid recent challenges faced by its competitor.
