However, have you ever tried searching for classical music on the service?
Its kind of a nightmare.
It isnt Apple Musics fault, necessarily.
The solution, then, is to abandon average streaming platforms for classical music listening.
And thus, Apple Music Classical was born.
Apple is launching Apple Music Classicalon Tuesday, March 28.
The service isnt a new tab in the main Apple Music app, though.
Rather, its a standalone program youll need to download on its own.
However, it isnt a separatetierof Apple Music, such as the cheaperApple Music Voice.
If you pay for Apple Music, the Classical app is part of the fun.
But why Apple Music Classical?
Why not Apple Music Pop, Apple Music Rap, or Apple Music Rock?
Part of the thinking here comes fromApples acquisition of classical streaming service Primephonicback in 2021.
While the original target was 2022, it seems Apples plans are finally materializing.
But why acquire Primephonic in the first place?
The reason an individual classical-themed Apple Music app works is because of how classical music itself works.
That gets expensive, so mainstream covers arent wildly common.
Classical, however, is a whole other beast.
Orchestras and other groups of musicians fill in the gaps here, recording their own versions of classical pieces.
What results is an unwieldy number of recordings for any given piece of music.
You often have to settle for the options that present themselves to you.
Apple Music Classical fixes this problem by simplifying classical music catalogs and making them easy to navigate.
You get an educational experience for free just by browsing a favorite concerto.
That curated experience should resonate throughout the entire app.
The goal here is to make browsing classical music as simple and straightforward as possible.
Even if youre not into classical music, Apple Music Classical is still worth your time.
Apple put Apple Music Classical up for pre-order on theiOS App Store, and you should try it.
Remember, theres no charge here.
All pre-ordering does is notify you when the app is available, and download it to your machine automatically.
