I totally wouldn’t be surprised if there originally were people being like “So what’s this so-called ‘cupboard’ supposed to solve? Why isn’t a regular shelf good enough for you?”
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)
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
oh look, a feature literally no one asked for or needs.
90% of the features in your daily life started as something no one asked for or needed. I remember people saying this about touch screens.
I don’t necessarily endorse the viewpoint of Noel Gallagher but it is pretty funny.
In some applications, people still say that about touch screens and they are not wrong.
Spatial Audio can be cool. In this application? I’m unconvinced.
Fucking touchscreens on cars is definitely something nobody should have access to.
90%?

Was anyone asking for the telegraph before it was invented? Or the telephone? Or the Internet? Or smartphones? Or social media?
Those are not features, those are whole ass inventions
And inventions are features of your daily life. 🤦♂️

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.
