Apple Music for Android beta adds lossless audio, spatial audio, automatic crossfade and more

Apple announced a major upgrade to Apple Music coming in June that includes lossless audio and spatial audio from Dolby Atmos. The new features will be available to all those who subscribe to the service and subscribers will have 20 million to enjoy now and over 75 million lossless audio tracks by the end of the year. Since Apple Music is on Android as well, Apple is starting to roll out the new features to Apple Music for Android beta now.

In order to join the beta and experience the new features Apple Music has to offer beta testers you will need to join the beta here. One you join the beta, you’ll have access to Lossless and Spatial Audio tracks with the Dolby Atmos logo in a curated list of tracks.
