Dolby Atmos Distribution to Apple Music & Tidal

Deliver Dolby Atmos (ADM BWF) masters to Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal and other spatial-audio stores. Included in Label Enterprise, no per-track fee.

Questions we get a lot.

Do I still need a stereo master?

Yes. Every store needs the stereo version — it is what plays on devices that cannot do spatial, and it is what the stereo royalty is paid on. The Atmos master is an addition, never a replacement.

I do not use the Dolby Atmos Renderer. Can I still deliver Atmos?

You need an ADM BWF export from somewhere. Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Nuendo and the Dolby Atmos Renderer all produce one. What we cannot accept is a surround mixdown with no ADM metadata, because there are no objects in it to render.

Which stores receive the Atmos master?

Apple Music, Amazon Music and Tidal are the main ones today, and we pass the master to every store in our network that supports spatial audio. Stores that do not support it receive the stereo master as usual.

What happens if my export is wrong?

The uploader tells you exactly what is wrong — wrong sample rate, missing ADM chunks, a channel count that does not match the metadata — and refuses the file. Fix the export and drop it in again. Nothing reaches a store until it passes.
