Yes. PlayGeet supports the distribution of Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio to supported streaming platforms.

Dolby Atmos delivers an immersive listening experience by placing sounds in a three-dimensional space, while Hi-Res Audio preserves more detail and dynamic range than standard audio formats.

Supported Streaming Platforms

Dolby Atmos is currently supported on selected platforms, including:

  • Apple Music (Spatial Audio)

  • Amazon Music

  • TIDAL

Platforms that do not support Dolby Atmos will automatically play the stereo version of your release.

Dolby Atmos Requirements

To distribute Dolby Atmos through PlayGeet, you'll need:

  • Dolby Atmos ADM BWF file

  • 24-bit LPCM

  • 48 kHz sample rate

  • Stereo master

  • Separate ISRC for the Dolby Atmos version

Your Dolby Atmos mix must be created from the original multitrack session or stems. Stereo upmixes are not accepted.

Hi-Res Audio Requirements

For Hi-Res Audio delivery:

  • Upload the highest-quality master available.

  • Use an uncompressed WAV file.

  • Avoid unnecessary audio processing after mastering.

Higher-quality source files provide the best playback experience on supported streaming services.

  1. Upload your stereo master.

  2. Upload your Dolby Atmos ADM BWF file.

  3. Enter the Dolby Atmos ISRC.

  4. Review your release details.

Important Guidelines

Please ensure that:

  • Your Dolby Atmos and stereo versions have the same duration.

  • Both versions use the same arrangement.

  • No instruments or vocals are missing.

  • The Atmos mix is professionally created.

  • Metadata is accurate before submission.

PlayGeet does not accept:

  • Stereo files converted into Dolby Atmos using automatic upmixing.

  • AI-generated Atmos conversions from stereo recordings.
