Apple has taken just over a month to bring its latest music app to Android. But it’s not free.
Apple Music Classical, Apple’s classical music appis now available on the Google Play Store, for all android mobilesless than two months after releasing it on the iPhone.
Seems like a shocking decision already in Google Play Storebecause for example Apple Music Classical It still does not have an app on Macs, nor is it optimized for iPads. But it has its explanation.
Apple got into classical music like all tech giants do. Why bother developing a classical music technology or database if you can buy from a company that has already done it and get what you want instantly.
Apple bought Primephonic in 2021, a classical music streaming platform. But he didn’t do it for the music or streaming itself, but for his excellent related classical music metadata. Primephonic already had an Android app, so it was easy for Apple to adapt it.
Apple Music Classical comes to Android
Thanks to these metadata, it is very easy find musical pieces, orchestras, albums or related authors, create collections, thematic playlists, etc.. It’s the strength of the app, and what makes it worth using, rather than the general Apple Music app.
And what does Apple Music Classical offer? well more than 5 million different pieces, including soundtracks.
It also has over 700 charts spanning 800 years of music of different styles and genres.
Best of all is that all music is at maximum quality, 192 kHz and 24-bit losslessand it sounds great.
It is an extraordinary app for fans of classical musicbut it is not free, nor can you subscribe separately. It is part of the subscription to Apple Music, or Apple One. If you have one of these subscriptions, you will be able to use Apple Music Classical without paying more, and without limitations.
From now on, in addition to the iPhone, you can enjoy Apple Music Classical on any Android mobile, at no additional cost. It is very useful, taking into account that in a family it is common for parents to have an iPhone, and children an Android. Although sometimes it is the other way around, of course. But it is time that everyone has either iPhone or Android. Apple thus covers all options.
