I have never done the surround test, I'll try on my end later today and see what I get.

I got the test and I put it on 2 of my NAS and a portable drive (PNY Elite 480GB SSD)
My Oppo reports that the MP4 is not supported from any source, my Sony UBP-X800 will play the MP4 but from my Buffalo Nas are very choppy, from the portable drive into the front USB of the X800 it plays OK but with one glitch. From my WD MyCloud are choppy and no sound, very odd.
I have the Matt Darey - Wolf MKV but it won't play that. It will however play the individual MP4 files.
How are others playing the MP4 files, what Windows PC program plays them?
It's Atmos I'm interested in mostly, I've had Mr. Afternoon's toad 5.1 flacs from there, they are OK.
Any help gratefully received, until I'm sure I can play these files properly I can't buy Atmos from IAA.

I just downloaded the test file, manually, very easy, and that's where it stops.
The file is called IAA-Sonic Brand Visualizer 7.1.4.
It landed in my PC Download folder, I opened it up and could see the abstract cool video but no sound as my PC direct has no sound, don't ask.
I copied the file over to my NAS and It is there somewhere but I can't find it to play the audio and video, I probably won't pursue it as not really interested.
To answer your question of the purchased music files, out side of the almost horrible downloading process, they play absolutely fantastic and the files are tagged good.
I have never had a problem with playback.

I think it would help if all of us (and I've repeatedly failed to do this myself) emailed IAA to let them know--politely and factually--about our difficulties with the downloader. For my part, I've given up on the "Full Album" option, as it consistently screws up. Downloading track by track is the only way I've found to get everything on the first try.

Same, track by track and slowly, like 3 max at a time and let them finish before I go to next 3.

I don’t think I’ve ever had a problem with the downloads, although I’ve only bought about a half dozen. But I wish there was an easier PayPal/Apple Pay checkout instead of having to put in a credit card and all associated info each time.

Tell ya what though... now that I’ve got a setup that can play digital Atmos files in my heights, I’m paying a lot more attention to this digital option and what’s available.

Exactly what I learned the hard way!

Oh my, that's a great list!

 

[sjcorne]

Oh my, that's a great list!

There have been real discussions about making some of these tiles a reality, it's not just wishful thinking

 

[Blackwood]

I filled it out earlier, but I think I forgot to mention Joe Satriani’s Surfing with the Alien.

I forgot the other Joe, with Time Clocks

 

[Blackwood]

I forgot the other Joe, with Time Clocks

I like that one, too! I kind of jump in and out with Joe’s work as he cranks out so much music. But that was a nice one to have jumped back in with.

 

[peterzach]

I asked for

Haken-Fauna
The Church-The Hypnogogue
Muse-Will of the People

 

[kvsawilson]

I forgot the other Joe, with Time Clocks

That was my write in vote. Excellent album and mix.

 

[splinter7]

I asked for

Haken-Fauna
The Church-The Hypnogogue
Muse-Will of the People

I second the Church’s Hypnogogue and I added the Orb/Gilmour’s Metallic Spheres

 

[RustyStatic]

Oh yeah I forgot about the Satriani, that one's great—I wrote in the latest Regina Spektor, Björk, and the three Grateful Dead titles streaming in Atmos!

 

[coolerking101]

Alice in Chains - Dirt
Pearl Jam - Ten
Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction
Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy

I am not ashamed of saying that I periodically check the site looking for Katatonia - Sky Void of Stars. Since all the other immersive Katatonia albums are there, I am hoping that is just a matter of time.

Also, David Bowie's Blackstar is on top of my wish list.
