Apple’s New Classical Music App Set To Launch On March 28
These services typically do well enough to aid discoverability and personalization by asking you to create a musical profile tailored to your tastes. When their random recommendations fail to tickle your ears, you can always craft your own playlists, or use dynamic radio features to find new tunes that are similar to the ones you already love.
Apparently, that still isn’t enough for some people. Apple seems to feel that the classical music genre is so underserved that it’s now launching an app specifically for those craving that timeless sound. This comes as little surprise to those who keep a close watch on Apple. The companypurchased the streaming service Primephonicnearly two years ago, and hints of anew appto take its place were spotted back in 2022.
Apple Music Classical is finally here
Apple Music Classical is a standalone app that claims to house the world’s largest archive of works that were composed before perhaps even your parents were born. In the catalog, you’ll find more than 5 million tracks and thousands of albums ranging from the earliest symphonic centerpieces to newly released pieces, some of which will be exclusive to Apple.
According to itslisting at the App Store, the app will offer curated playlists and listening guides to help you navigate the genre. If you’re curious about history, Apple even offers composer biographies to help you learn while you listen. Also, just because the music is classical, that doesn’t mean the quality will match the times — tracks are delivered in hi-res, lossless codecs up to 192kHz / 24-bit, and some support Dolby Atmos spatial audio to deliver that concert feel.
