I always prefer listening to the thing that sounds better to me. I don't care about what the artist wants.

Chances are the artist has no idea what kind of speakers you are using anyway

You’re downvoted, but enjoyment of music is obviously subjective. There is no “wrong” way to listen to music (or anything really).

Exactly. This thread is mindboggling.

Taste in music is purely subjective. If users enjoy listening to Spatial Audio, who are you to criticize it as a scam?

That just isn’t true.

Settings > Music > Dolby Atmos > Off.

There’s actually a setting to choose

You can choose to enable spatial listening (as opposed to the stereo downmix), but you can't choose to use the original recording.

Yes, you can. I just tested, and it plays the regular stereo track instead.

This isn’t tidal with their MQA scam.
