I don’t care about Spatial Audio for phone calls, but for songs and podcasts it’s AMAZING. It’s a gimmick, sure, but it’s really fucking neat.
about as necessary as 3-d televisions, which are also very neat.
I agree with you fully, but Spatial Audio is waaaay cooler than 3D TVs, and yes I did watch Avatar on a 3D TV on acid
But I really really have fun with audio. Also it’s not horridly expensive. While I’m working, I’m constantly looking around and hearing how different things are. When I had my partner try, they were like “wait can you hear this?” because it sounds like such a realistic concert performance. Artists I’ve never listened to are fascinating to me.
i went the other direction. quality means nothing, couldnt care less as long as i can hear the melody blah blah i suck. i have mp3 files that are 25 years old.. guess what quality they are
You don’t suck, no way. Your opinion is the exact opposite of mine but I respect that. All of my 128kbps songs I come across I redownload in FLAC, but you’d better believe I keep my old 128kbps CD rips for nostalgia.
It’s also funny cuz even with mediocre quality songs and podcasts, head-tracked spatial is tits, looking around and having everything be… in places… and stay there? I can’t describe it but it really blew me away.
whats crazy to me is that spacial audio is the company of an app i used decades ago to run ip radio on corporate intranets (winamp+shoutcast+SAM+custom intranet site)

That IS wild! “I’M BACK, BABY”
Also the fuck kind of instance are you on
I’m into it
i call it 'comically unmarketable'. i stood up a public instance when reddit went fuckballs. a few of us neeeded something to doomscroll on, so there it is. open signup https://moist.catsweat.com
