[Desktop][Developer] MacOS Monterey Spatial Audio Support for Spotify

[user-removed]

Briefly,

Implement Spatial Audio feature on macos platform like iOS.

Apple provides a simulated Spatial Audio feature in macOS Monterey for apps that add their plugin. Doing so enables Spotify for Mac listeners to take advantage of new Spatial Audio features on AirPod Pros and other supported headphones and requires little effort from development. You've closed like this idea before. However, we recommend that you read carefully, this is a different platform not iOS, this is MAC OS.

Where's spatial audio? Apple Music has it since last update.  Do you plan Add this? I like Spotify but I dont want to pay for worse option, especially i have Apple Music for free for many months as an apple customer.

Please add this!

I would love this feature to be added.

I would also love this feature. I think is a must have now.

For the time being I switched to the Web Player with Safari and that way you can use Spotify + Spatial Audio on Macs.

But I really think it should be included within the App.

That’s smart, never thought about that!

Yeah it’s due time to implement this in the native app… I wonder, shouldn’t
it be pretty easy to implement, as it’s already working in the iOS app?

I love spatial audio on macOS... I'm lucky enough to have two original HomePod speakers and an iMac (24-inch, M1, 2021); both products support spatial audio. If you've never listened to classical music in spatial audio, get ready...
