Feature Description & Use Case

Certain albums on Tidal have Dolby Atmos sound, which can be seen in the mobile app. However, in both Tidal Hi-Fi and the web player, some of them just have no quality tag whatsoever, while others just use the "MAX" tag, which is strange. When playing them, the currently playing track is highlighted in "MAX" quality yellow, which creates more inconsistencies. I assume the reason for this is that web pages (and similarly web apps) can't support streaming Dolby Atmos sound, but if that is true, the tag should still be visible, just greyed out in my opinion. I'm unsure if this can be changed within this project, but I would assume that each album should have something like metadata showing its sound quality since the information is available on the mobile app. Apologies if this is outside of your control.

Additional Context

Preacher's Daughter and Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You by Ethel Cain, and the apple tree under the sea by hemlocke springs have no quality tags at all in Tidal Hi-Fi:

CHOROPHOBIA by Weval and Water by ANIMA! have a "MAX" quality tag on Tidal Hi-Fi:

I've noticed that the ones with no tag at all are duplicate uploads of albums that also have a non-Dolby Atmos version listed, while the ones that have the "MAX" tag are albums where the Dolby Atmos version is the only available version.
