More artists begin to create music specifically for spatial sound effects. Apple Music is working closely with artists and record companies to add new versions and best tracks from the catalog.
Apple released iOS 14.7. Provides lossless spatial audio for millions of users in India. With this update, users can listen to all 75 million lossless sound quality songs in Apple Music and thousands of Spatial Audio songs with Dolby Atmos for free.
You need to go to the “Music” tab in “Settings” to enable Dolby Atmos and select your network settings to stream these files.
Apple Music
In Apple Music and part of the album, you can clearly see signs of space and lossless audio. Android music users will also get these features soon.
AirPods Pro and AirPods Max support automatic playback with spatial audio. However, if the network is not sufficient for lossless audio transmission, switch to the best possible quality, but this will also be transmitted to the listener.
If you are not interested in the data, please go to your music settings and select Dolby Atmos’ “Always On.”
And must also clarify when you ask Apple support they say that Apple Music hasn't launched lossless and spatial audio in India. So really don't know what they are trying to do. Stop playing these mind games

Other compatible devices: AirPods, BeatsX, Beats Solo3 Wireless, Beats Studio3, Powerbeats3 Wireless, Beats Flex, Powerbeats Pro or Beats Solo Pro, iPhone XR or higher built-in speakers (except iPhone SE), 12.9-inch iPad Pro (3rd generation ).
IPad Pro 11″, iPad (6th generation or newer), iPad Air (3rd generation or newer), or iPad mini (5th generation). If autoplay is not supported, please select Always on.
Lossless Audio
The lossless audio file is a file that retains all the content of the original data when recording a song and is usually lost when compressed. Therefore, lossless files consume more data during the transfer process and take up more space on the device.
In addition, it cannot provide lossless files via Bluetooth experience. At least audiophiles can start Cupertino by encoding their entire Apple Music catalog.
And now it also uses Apple Lossless Audi or Codec (ALAC) to encode from 16-bit/44.1 kHz (CD quality) to 24-bit/192 kHz. Although the difference between traditional AAC and lossless audio is almost indistinguishable.
We provide Apple Music subscribers the ability to access music using lossless audio compression. Users can delete old files and download them again to get the same lossless experience.
Lossless users can go to the “Music” section in “Settings,” select the sound quality and enable the “Lossless” option.
Lossless music on iPhone or iPad
You can also choose the audio quality for streaming and downloading audio. Users can listen to lossless music on iPhone or iPad. Or use the built-in speakers on these devices. AirPods are AAC compatible but not lossless.
But they need to be connected to headphones or speakers through a wired connection.
However, to listen to songs with a sampling rate greater than 48 kHz, you will need an external D/A converter. Apple TV 4K also supports lossless. From now on, more and more artists begin to create music specifically for Spatial Audio.
Apple Music and Dolby make it easy for musicians, producers, and mixers to create songs in Dolby Atmos. Apple Music works closely with artists and record companies to add new versions and better tracks from the catalog.
Initiatives include doubling the number of Dolby-compatible studios in key markets, providing educational programs, and providing resources for independent artists.
Apple has also created immersive music creation tools in Logic Pro. Later this year, Apple will update Logic Pro, allowing any musician to create and mix their songs in Spatial Audio, which is compatible with Apple Music.
