Spatial Audio support for the Mac desktop app

[HereIsNils]

It would be great if there was support for spacial audio when playing music using the desktop app on mac. 

as of right now, the option is greyed out and Spotify is also not recognized as a stereo source.

I also double checked if mono-audio is disabled in the settings.

So surprised this is not already a thing... I have to use Safari as my spotify player in order to enable.

I’d like to request that Spotify add Spatial Audio support to the macOS app. This feature would provide a more immersive listening experience for users with compatible devices, such as AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and newer Macs.

Why it matters:

1. Better Experience: Spatial Audio creates a 3D sound experience that makes music more engaging.

2. Stay Competitive: Other platforms like Apple Music already support this, and Spotify users would love to have it too.

3. Device Compatibility: Many users already use AirPods and Macs, and adding Spatial Audio would make Spotify even more enjoyable on these devices.

This feature would be a great addition to Spotify and help keep the app competitive and enjoyable for all users.

Thank you!
