Amazon Music
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Amazon Music has an Ad-free deal with a number of podcast companies including Wondery I believe.
- Apple Music, Tidal and Amazon Music are available on the LG App Store. All of these support (might need the top tier subscription) Dolby Atmos.
- I recently started using Amazon Music too since a lot of podcasts are ad-free with Prime.
- I also found Dolby Functional testing on Amazon music was a good test, especially as it plays a ladies voice if the Atmos isn't working properly
- I can only speak for amazon music but its algorithm is great.
Cons
- Personally I find their library fairly deep with some pretty obscure and out of press stuff, but you need their premium subscription for access to their entire catalog. Of course YMMV. The desktop software is ...fine. I'm not th biggest...
- So as a dad, my Amazon Music algorithm is… let’s call it compromised. I play a ton of kid songs for the lil man, which means when I shuffle my gym playlist it sometimes drops “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes” right between Slipknot and d...
- I had the same problem with Amazon Music on Windows PC. I wanted to hear Atmos soundtracks but the app only outputs stereo. The feature is completely useless as it stands.
- finding that the likes of Amazon Music and Tidal that have it on their platforms don't seem to allow Atmos streaming through their PC apps.
- Medium sized library, I couldn't find some of the songs I had on Spotify here but overall the streaming, song recommendations, and the app are kind of good, but they don't have a desktop app.

Personally I find their library fairly deep with some pretty obscure and out of press stuff, but you need their premium subscription for access to their entire catalog. Of course YMMV. The desktop software is ...fine. I'm not th biggest fan of it, but it's serviceable in my opinion. I like the quality of audio I get with Amazon too, but it's algorithm sometimes seems to have schizophrenia.

I know that when playing music on my Fire Stick with Amazon Music, Atmos tracks are always a lot quieter but then I'm using all 5.4.4 channels so the power is distributed across all of the channels.
