The application devoted to classical music has just appeared on the App Store and is available to all subscribers to AppleMusic.
Lovers of classical music and Apple products, today is your day with the launch of Apple Music Classical.
A new service available at no additional cost to all subscribers
It took a long time to discover this new software. It was in 2021 that Apple announced the acquisition of Primephonic, a streaming service specializing in classical music. This offered an interface suited to the presentation of classical works and managed the numerous metadata associated with the composer, the orchestra or the various pieces performed.
For many months, we could see several mentions of Apple Music Classical in different beta versions of iOS, but the brand still refused to give any information. The app is now available on the App Store and can be downloaded for free. To benefit from the service, all you need to do is subscribe to Apple Music. The offer is thus offered at no additional cost.
However, the latter is only available on iPhone. iPad users will have to settle for a simple scaling of the smartphone software for the time being, while Apple offers an adapted version of its service for tablets. Note that Mac owners cannot enjoy Apple Music Classical on their computers either.
An interface adapted to classic works
Apple Music Classical more or less takes over the interface of Apple Music, with a “Listen” tab which presents recommendations based on recent listening as well as different album and song proposals. An “Explorer” tab allows you to dive into the catalog presented by Apple using several search criteria such as your favorite genre, your favorite composer or a popular conductor. It is also possible to filter the songs by type of instrument or to let yourself be carried away by the playlists developed by the brand’s experts.
However, the presentation of the works differs from Apple Music. The composers and symphonies are displayed in the album lists, and the information by track is much more complete, to the delight of purists.
Apple obliges, many albums are available in Audio Spatial (or Dolby Atmos), if you have a pair of AirPods or a HomePod compatible with this format. Only regret: it is impossible today to download his songs for offline listening.

There is no doubt about one point: Apple Music is undeniably the fiercest competitor to Spotify, and more and more users are not mistaken. It is one of the music streaming services with the most features and the best audio quality for the asking price to enjoy the subscription. With its 100 million music tracks in lossless quality, personalized content and flawless accessibility (whether you have hardware from Apple or not), it is a major competitor against the Swedish giant.
