Well it seems from reading through the "Welcome Steve Genewick" thread that there's an impending industry move from 5.1 surround music to Dolby Atmos music releases. I am a bit surprised about this, but after being a "first-adopter" type consumer since I was getting an allowance, I probably should not be. I am sure that the Dolby folks are kicking in a few bucks to get this music out there, much the way Sony did with SACD (at first). It's business, you know?
So where does this leave folks with 5.1 systems, and how does one go about converting a Dolby Atmos music file into a wav of flac file? How many channels are in the source? Is it variable?
I may be a bit behind the times with this stuff. I think I will order the R.E.M. BluRay and play around with it. I didn't bother getting it last year as I have the DVD-A, but it might be worth a shot just to see how it all comes together.
Any thoughts?
