I don’t know what’s up with this playlist, but it’s out there. Could be nothing:

This is a fan made playlist. These songs themselves haven't been enabled for Spatial Audio yet (as of this writing).

It feels like Christmas Eve. I’m leaving cookies and milk by my iPhone tonight for Apple Santa.

I clicked on Taylor Swift and the Dolby Atmos and lossless music logos appeared for a brief second before disappearing again.

It looks like it’s getting ready and they just need to flick a switch to enable it.
