What is Spatial Audio and Lossless Audio?
This is Exactly How Apple Describes Its Feature, Which It Calls ‘Lossless Audio’:
“Lossless audio compression perfectly preserves the entire data while reducing the original file size of a song. Apple Music’s catalog of more than 75 million songs is now also available in lossless audio format in different resolutions. 1 “Lossless” in Apple Music is up to 48 kHz. Lossless audio and “High Definition Lossless” means lossless audio from 48 kHz to 192 kHz. Lossless and High Definition Lossless files are huge in size and use more bandwidth and storage space than standard AAC files.”
Apple shares the following explanation for the ‘Spatial Audio’ feature:
“Spatial Sound technology gives artists the opportunity to deliver immersive auditory experiences with truly multidimensional sound and clarity for their fans. Delivering a revolutionary immersive audio experience, Spatial Sound powered by Dolby Atmos allows artists to craft music from all sides and from above.”
