TIDAL rolls out Dolby Atmos to users with a Dolby Atmos enabled sound bar, TV, or AVR home cinema system and a TIDAL HiFi subscription. To access this feature, TIDAL HiFi users will need to connect their Dolby Atmos enabled living room devices to a compatible streaming player running the most recently updated TIDAL app. Compatible streaming devices include – Apple TV 4K; various Fire TV models such as Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick (2nd gen), Fire TV (3rd gen); and NVIDIA SHIELD TV or NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro (2019 or newer models). The updated TIDAL app is also available on Dolby Atmos enabled Android TVs from Sony and Philips, which will allow users the option to experience Dolby Atmos Music natively using the Dolby Atmos enabled speakers on the TV or via a connected Dolby Atmos enabled sound bar or home cinema system.

Since its launch in December 2019, TIDAL’s library of music in Dolby Atmos continues to expand in size, and now features recently acclaimed albums and songs including Ariana Grande’s 7 rings, The Weeknd’s After Hours, and Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello’s Señorita.

TIDAL HiFi will automatically default to playing Atmos if a Dolby Atmos mix and compatible device are available. To find songs in Dolby Atmos, go to the Home screen and look under ‘Available in Dolby Atmos’ or search ‘Dolby Atmos’ to find tracks in Dolby Atmos, including dedicated ‘At Home’ playlists focused on genres like Pop, Hip-Hop, and Jazz. Dolby Atmos Music on TIDAL HiFi can also be heard using a compatible Dolby Atmos enabled Android smartphone or tablet. TIDAL is offering a special extended 60-day free trial to those interested in Dolby Atmos Music. This is a limited time offer for new subscribers and more details can be found here.
