### 4/5 — App does in 3 seconds what Apple hasn’t done in 3 years

*2025-12-17, version 2.1.1*

I’ve been spinning my wheels trying to figure out which songs in my main playlist (around 290 songs) are in Dolby Atmos.  Apple’s solution.  Open each one and look for an icon that may or may not be there.  This guy…give you a list of Atmos songs!  I would like to see the ability to add these songs to a specific playlist.  That would be 5 out of 5 for me.  I need this because I use my playlists on my other devices (Apple TV, SmartTVs, my Car, etc).  If you don’t care about that and just want to play the songs directly, you can just click it and it will play on your phone.

### 4/5 — Please bring back Apple Watch app!

*2025-06-22*

Such a perfect app but would love a dark mode version of the app icon please

### 3/5 — Good

*2025-03-27, version 2.1.1*

This is a good app and better than anything Apple Music has to be able to sort your music by Spatial Audio. But I wish Apple would allow you to search and sort Apple Music by Spatial Audio and Hi Res Audio. All I want is to be able to see all the albums available on Apple Music that are in Dolby Atmos and/or Hi Res lossless audio , it's 2025 and we still can't do it.

### 4/5 — Very useful

*2024-09-28, version 2.1.1*

A very good app, helps surface tracks that aren’t necessarily on heavy rotation but have been upgraded to SA and are nice to play again for that reason. 

It’d be great to be able to jump to the tracks in Apple Music straight from the list of tracks it has found in your library rather than just playing them.

EDIT: Now realise that this is possible by selecting the track so that it plays, then switching to the Music app. Terrific. 

Also, if only some of the tracks from an album have been converted to SA, others are listed because they belong to the other, even though they are only lossless. 

No big deal at all, and I am delighted with this app - very useful. Great job.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-09-19*

Fabulous app, but there is the odd song in the spatial audio playlist that isn’t spatial audio, so please have a look at this.

### 2/5 — More sort options please!

*2024-06-29, version 2.1*

It works well for tracking all Spatial Audio tracks, but the sorting needs to be hierarchical, by artists, then album names, then songs. As it is, it’s one huge list of all tracks with no other possible organization. The filtering by artist name simply lists every track in order, causing massive amounts of scrolling required to browse. So it’s kind of useless, no search function either. I appreciate the notifications of new atmos tracks, but that’s about it.

### 4/5 — Add playlist support

*2024-04-20, version 2.1*

App is well built and a great idea it would be great if you could select playlists to scan

### 4/5 — Great! Help catch the myriad of Apple Music bugs

*2023-12-09*

Apple Music (both the app (ex iTunes) and the streaming service) is great, but it’s so full of bugs that it’s embarrassing Apple has let them sneak past QA. 

This app is great at catching when Apple Music randomly decides to change your metadata for no apparent reason than to annoy us. You change star ratings or genre and out of nowhere Apple decides they don’t agree and change them with no warning. Or they “delete” an album that’s there with I guess a different ID so it disappears from your library and you have to add it again. It’s so bad that I’ve seriously considered giving up on streaming and going back to owning my own music. 

This app has kept me from going insane. 

All I wish is that it had a filter to show me changes in only specific metadata like genre, play count, last played, album name (yes, Apple Music messes with this, especially on greatest hits albums it tends to break them out into the original albums).

### 5/5 — Worked Correctly

*2023-08-23, version 2.0.2*

This app filters your Apple music library to find spacial audio tracks and then creates a playlist of the tracks the app works wonderfully and quite fast aswell however if it’s possible it would be really cool to sort by audio quality aswell and should be a feature

### 5/5 — Great but it shuts down on my Mac as of a few days ago.

*2023-08-10, version 2.0.2*

Great but it isn't working on my Mac as it used to. I do a refresh of my music and the app closes. I open it, try again and the same thing happens. Please sort this out, thanks.

### 5/5 — Recommended

*2023-05-02, version 2.0.2*

I don’t know much about Apple Music and Libraries -  find it all a bit confusing beyond the absolute basics like browsing and searching. I do have a library which was my original CD collection from years ago. Anyway, recently bought a Sonos Era 300 and fell in love with Spatial Music. This app took a few seconds to find all the Spatial stuff in my Library and create a playlist. For me the app paid for itself in those few seconds.

### 5/5 — Automatically increases the value of your music library

*2023-05-02, version 2.0.2*

This app does exactly what it claims to do.

In the first 24 hours, it converted 652 of my 16,545 recordings to Spatial Audio (i.e., Dolby Atmos). It’d be wildly impractical for me to attempt to manually perform that task.

The app automatically runs once a day, but you can push a button to run it anytime you desire.

Up to five other members of your Apple Family account can download it for free after you buy it. You can also install it in macOS at no additional charge. This is single payment; not a subscription.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It’s ok, but not supported anymore

*2026-05-05, version 2.1.1*

The app serves its purpose, but it seems to be abandoned. I switched to HelloAtmos website.

### 1/5 — Only indexes favorites

*2026-03-22, version 2.1.1*

Will not recognize my library

### 1/5 — Didn’t find any Spatial Audio songs out of 4,222

*2026-02-26, version 2.1.1*

Not sure why, but the app finds zero Spatial Audio songs out of 4,222

### 1/5 — Erratic since iOS & iPadOS 26.x

*2026-01-28, version 2.1.1*

My library has 17551 tracks in iTunes and on iPad and iPhone and I have checked every single one. Music Tracker only finds 17550 and recently keeps reporting tracks deleted and added at the same time when they have not been - seems to be unreliable under iOS and iPadOS 26.2.1 (all 26.x versions).

### 1/5 — Needs to be updated!

*2025-09-20, version 2.1.1*

Needs work. Good idea though. Needs to put an up to date album library that automatically keeps all of our songs current.

### 1/5 — Nice idea but doesn’t hit the mark.

*2024-10-23, version 2.1.1*

Just gives you a list of any track in your library that is spatial. 
That just means thousands of tracks so not easy to find what you’re looking for: . 
No way to just list by albums or artists who have spatial. You have to get all the tracks .

### 1/5 — Pointless

*2024-10-20, version 2.1.1*

What does this app actually do!!
Apple updates Spatial Audio all the time so ive been on the 3 times in a year and nothing has happened no new notifications or songs updated 
Total waste of money 
Steer clear,

### 1/5 — Misses large number of SA tracks

*2024-07-02, version 2.1*

If this app actually worked correctly, it would be fantastic. Unfortunately; it consistently misses Spatial Audio tracks and fails to add them to the list of available songs. For example, I have Prince’s Purple Rain in my iTunes library. When it was upgraded to Spatial Audio, Music Tracker failed to detect this and add the songs to my SA library. When I discovered that it was available as a Dolby Atmos download, I even tried to delete and add it back into my library, with the atmos versions. Music Tracker still failed to detect and add these tracks to my SA playlist. 

This has also happened with brand new albums that I have added to my library. Sometimes it detects and adds songs, often it does not. It is frustrating.

### 1/5 — Crashes on Scan

*2023-03-30, version 2.0.1*

Was initially working OK, but is now basically useless.

### 1/5 — BE CAREFUL

*2023-02-17, version 2.0.1*

I’ve spent nearly 20 years curating my Apple Music library, and this app exploded it in a matter of 2 minutes. Albums that were previously downloaded in full have now been fragmented into single songs. Hundreds of songs have been added as “single” tracks instead of albums. I immediately deleted the app but I’m afraid the damage is done.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Fills an Apple gap

*2025-02-03, version 2.1.1*

This app shows you which songs in your library support Dolby Atmos and even creates a playlist of all supported songs. Something Apple should do…

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2025-01-26, version 2.1.1*

This does what iOS Shortcuts won’t, which is replace non-spatial tracks with their spatial and hi-res equivalent. Saves a considerable amount of time!

### 5/5 — very good and needed

*2024-12-30, version 2.1.1*

Once you get hooked on Spatial Audio through the Apple TV, this is the best app to keep you updated on changes and the playlist is perfect. If you only wanna listen to Spatial Audio, you just pull up the playlist and you are set.

### 5/5 — Very valuable for huge libraries

*2024-11-13, version 2.1.1*

I have over 50,000 songs and have experienced plenty of data loss, duplication, and sleepless nights due to iCloud sync glitches over the last decade. This app is such a good idea, and I wish I discovered it sooner.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-09-27, version 2.1.1*

I never write reviews. This might be my second but it’s worth it.  Works like a charm. I receive a daily update of new tracks added from my library. I play right from the app(which pulls the Spacial track via Apple Music). Perfect.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2024-07-23, version 2.1.1*

Really well designed and works great. This is exactly what I didn't know I needed for years. The developer is also extremely responsive and cares a lot so huge ups there. Thank you thank you!

### 5/5 — Until there is metadata

*2024-04-15, version 2.1*

Until Apple provides a metadata field fo Spatial Audio, this app does identify songs and report changes in your library.  It works as advertised.

### 5/5 — Music Library Tracker

*2024-01-16, version 2.0.2*

Finding Dolby Atmos music and single individual tracks can be very frustrating for Apple Music.  This amazing IOS app helps immensely..  it will show you the new weekly Atmos albums, new individual tracks and even older albums and individual tracks that have been upgraded from regular 2 channel stereo to Atmos.  A must have app!

### 5/5 — Best Tool for those with Atmos home setups.

*2024-01-11, version 2.0.2*

If you’re like me and have an Atmos home theatre set up. And we’re blown away by how Spatial Audio/Dolby Atmos song sounded from that kind of Set up, just to be disappointed that there was no easy way to filter your library by Spatial Audio songs to play them all. Then this app is for you I’ve been looking and wide for something that would immediately create a playlist with all my Spatial Audio music, so I could just listen to them nonstop. This is the solution I was looking for! Well worth $5

### 5/5 — Apple should have done this

*2023-11-12, version 2.0.2*

Keeps your library up to date with the highest quality version of your albums.  Who doesn’t want better quality?
