Strictly Headphone - Exclusive RA360 Spatial Streams (Amazon)

[humprof]

Okay; I've finally begun checking out the AirPods Pros I've had sitting in a box for several months, and they're making a difference, especially with "head tracking" turned on. (Although the head tracking effects are more dramatic, I find, when I'm actually, uh, moving my head--like, deliberately moving my head, or rotating my body, or meandering around the room, or whatever. Haven't yet tried them on a bike, or in a box, or with a fox.)

Listening to Apple Spatial Audio with them isn't as dramatic as listening on the MacBook Pro's speakers, which are truly whiz-bang and can make it sound like things are coming from above, below, and behind you. But listening to Amazon 360 RA with them is a better experience than listening on other cans or earbuds, for sure.

Wondering if there is any interest in expanding the scope of this thread to more broadly communicate 360 RA albums and tracks (beyond just what is on Amazon, so to include Tidal, Deezer, etc.) for which a Dolby Atmos version is not also available (say on Apple Music).

For example, I found these 360 RA tracks on Tidal that I don’t see on Apple Music in Atmos:

Eddie Money - Two Tickets To Paradise

https://tidal.com/track/139322230Daryl Hall & John Oates - Rich Girl
https://tidal.com/track/189880209Men At Work - Down Under
https://tidal.com/track/128896407

Wow, all of this thread is so, like, six months ago.
Things have moved along rapidly.

As far as I'm concerned as the "starter," you're welcome to expand this thread if you want.
It's pretty much dead to me, as I made my points, got some questions answered, and generated discussion.
I've since abandoned Amazon Music in favor of Apple for now.

This was the most useful post in the whole thread, #55, for what you're specifically asking.
A long list @HomerJAU put together.

I listed a bunch of titles individually, some of which have since migrated to Atmos versions on all or most sites.

360 RA continues to be exclusive to headphones for all practical purposes, or have I missed something?

There are a bunch of 360RA titles that are recycled 70's quads on Tidal. Some are on apple un Atmos and some aren't.

I may have overlooked it, but it seems nobody mentioned Grave Dancers Union in this thread. Worth checking out!
