Atmos has put me in an awkward position. I have a proper home cinema setup (AVR, wired separate speakers including the ones that bounce sound off the ceiling) and listening to Atmos music on it is amazing. It's every bit as revolutionary as claimed.

However, I like to own music and that is simply impossible at the moment for most Atmos recordings. I would love to build a library of such recordings, preferably in physical form, and would happily spend quite a lot of money doing so. But Apple Music is basically the only way I can listen to anything.

I can't help but suspect this is entirely deliberate, an attempt to use this innovation to hasten the passing of the concept of owning music into the past.

Sadly, I also worry the move to streaming means an awful lot of music is eventually going to be lost forever.
