I have tried searching a lot of ways like:

Mozart in spatial
The Beatles in Atmos
spatial Maroon 5
Atmos Pearl Jam

None of these work. Has anyone cracked a code to search?

The only thing I see is on an iOS (not Mac) when you hit Search you get a Spatial Audio tab on the top left. Not sure but this may be ALL there is at this time.

Irony: Apple strongly promotes and hardware supports Spatial Audio OVER Lossless. However much of the catalog is offered in lossless but only a tiny number are in Spatial Audio.

Would there be a way to create a smart playlist under itunes to sort them out that way? I'm curious also.

(1) That's possibly because it is easier for Apple to either obtain or make a lossless version from the files they receive from the album producer/company.
(2) The Atmos (Spatial Audio) has to technically be remixed/remastered into Dolby Atmos - takes more time/effort to do.

Also, if I look at an album in my Apple Music Library on my Mac (not songs I added manually but added directly from Apple Music) it would be nice if there was an indication of Dolby Atmos/Lossless like there is when I look through an artist's albums on my iPhone.

I'm only sad reacting to this because i'm having this exact problem right now, i'm trying to find which songs are in those formats and it's like a russian roulette I have to click through each song or album to find out if it's either dolby/lossless/hires at the moment.
