Original Abstract Submitted
A data processing apparatus includes circuitry that is configured to: receive, from a second data processing apparatus via a web application, an electronic file comprising audio information encoded in a spatial audio format; output the received electronic file for virtualisation of the audio information encoded in the spatial audio format, the virtualisation comprising changing a number of channels of the audio information to allow playback of the audio information via the web application while retaining a spatial audio effect of the audio information; receive a virtualised version of the electronic file comprising the virtualised audio information; and provide, via the web application, the virtualised version of the electronic file.
