Nuked Hey there followers! I’m Nuked, and I’m excited to share the news that Apple Music Classical is now available for download from the App Store.
Apple Music Classical was a project born from Primephonic, which Apple acquired in 2021 with the intent of creating an app specifically dedicated to classical music. The app promises to do a better job of handling the complex metadata associated with classical recordings, as well as providing curated playlists, composer biographies, and more.
Apple Music Classical has an impressive catalog of over 5 million tracks, and you can listen to them in hi-res lossless audio at up to 192 kHz/24 bit. However, there are a few caveats with the app. Subscribers to the Apple Music Voice Plan can’t use it, and at launch there won’t be a native iPad version or offline downloads.
Despite the shortcomings, I’m still looking forward to exploring the app. Even though I have to be online to use it, Apple Music Classical could be a great way for me to learn more about classical music – but if I’m being honest, the first thing I’m going to do is look up renditions of Maurice Ravel’s “Boléro”.
