Does Dolby Atmos is a must-have? Or am I just using a wrong software to listen to it?
I attempted listening to Dolby Atmos files especially to The Immaculate Collection through Audacity and it turned out preferring the stereo lossless version than the Dolby Atmos. What I just listened was the limit elements of a song (I tried it with Express Yourself)

Dolby Atmos is just some cheap way to emulate 5.1 in headphones for lossy music with proprietary encoding and decoding.
Do you have a 5.1 system? If you do, then you'll get something more than stereo out of those files played in Audacity. If you don't, I'm afraid you can't enjoy the full effect.
Anyway, they're lossy files, so of course the stereo lossless is better.
P.S. Popular and Vulgar are not good examples of the technology. Björk's Fossora Dolby Atmos sounds like regular 5.1 when played on a PC with a compatible audio system. But still very lossy.
