Tried listening to a few songs with Dolby Atmos and didn’t like it. With AirPods Pro I found it sounded more mono and actually prefer the stereo version. Anyone else agree?

I listened to a few tracks and they sounded horrible. 

It's been hit or miss for me. Some tracks sounded good, but quite a few sounded bad to me. 

I mentioned in another thread that comparing another music services version of The Weekend's Blinding Lights to Apple's new promoted version in their demo catalog wasn't impressive. There was little discernable difference, certainly not the "this changes music forever" moment that Apple said to expect. 

I actually had high hopes for this. I've been pretty impressed watching movies on my iPad while traveling using the Spatial Audio on my AirPods Max. Funny you mention Blinding Lights. That's the first song I listened to when Atmos first became available. I really didn't notice much of a difference. Once I get home, I plan on testing this out on my Atmos surround set up to see if its any better. Some of the songs I've listened to, it's hard to explain. It sounds as if the vocals got a big boost, but they are drowning out the other instruments. It just didn't sound very good to me at all.

So, my weather source is weather.gov.  It's not the prettiest site, but it's run by the best meteorologists, and it's more likely to be accurate than anything else.

If you're not in the US, you should probably check out your government's weather forecasts instead of going to for-profit sites and apps.

Dark Sky has been pretty damn accurate for me. It’s actually spooky when it’s right on the money about rain starting and stopping. 

Weather.gov just uses the weather info from my nearest airport and not the city I’m in. 

Dark Sky sources its data from NWS. Pretty much every weather app does.

It’s up and functioning. Apple TV connected to an Atmos-capable system decodes it into true Atmos surround. iPhone plays surround on AirPods Pro. 

The quick Mono to Stereo to Spatial demo in the Made for Spatial playlist is a good starting point if you’re not sure what this is all about. 

It's really unfortunate the Apple TV doesn't support Hi-Res Lossless.

Nothing so far…

It's there for me now. If you go into Apple Music, turn off sync library. Go back to the Apple Music app and it will ask you to turn sync back on. Turn it back on and wait a few minutes. You should now have the new Dolby Atmos and Lossless streaming options under Music settings.
