Apple announced the release of a new classical music app on March 28.
- On March 28, Apple Music Classical will debut with five million initial unique tracks.
- The new, independent Apple Music app will include comprehensive metadata and search capabilities after Apple acquired a classical music app in 2021.
Apple said on Thursday that it will release a standalone app
called Apple Music Classical on March 28. Existing Apple Music users will be
able to download it for free.
According to Apple, the catalog will debut with thousands of
exclusive albums and more than five million unique tracks.
The standalone app, according to Apple, would offer
"full and accurate metadata" and the option to "search by
composer, work, conductor, or even catalog number," according to a
statement. Many classical pieces have had numerous recordings and interpretations
made and released.
In August 2021, the business purchased Primephonic, a highly
regarded classical music streaming service. According to a statement made at
the time by Apple, users would "enjoy a considerably better classical
music experience, starting with Primephonic playlists and exclusive audio
material."
You'll need an internet connection to access Apple Music
Classical.
The business promised that an Android version would be
available soon.
