“#Here\u2019s why App<\/a>le is making an app just for classical music lovers<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Listening to classical music on streaming services can be a pain, to say the least. Sure, regular streaming services are fine if you only want the occasional hit of the Moonlight Sonata when you\u2019re feeling emo, but most streaming services just aren\u2019t built for the way classical enthusiasts regularly search for and listen to music.<\/p>\n

Apple wants to fix that. The company announced<\/a> this week that it bought Primephonic<\/a>, a streaming service that sought to address many of the common grievances classical music lovers have when they\u2019re just trying to get down with some Mahler.<\/p>\n

Apple said it would start by curating classical music experiences with Primephonic playlists and exclusive audio content and that it would deliver \u201ca dedicated experience with the best features of Primephonic, including better browsing and search capabilities by composer and by repertoire, detailed displays of classical music metadata, plus new features and benefits.\u201d<\/span> In 2022, it plans to release a dedicated app for classical enthusiasts.<\/p>\n

It seems like a logical move for Apple. The company shook up the industry when it announced it would introduce both lossless music and spatial audio as a free upgrade for existing subscribers. If I had to guess, I\u2019d say the intersection of audiophiles who care about lossless audio and classical musical enthusiasts is greater than most other genres. Catering to these listeners gives Apple additional clout to steal a few users from competing platforms.<\/p>\n

Now, maybe you think it\u2019s silly that classical music would need its own app. How elitist! But as one of those classical music lovers, so let me walk you through some of the common grievances I\u2019ve suffered over the years from the more mainstream music platforms.<\/p>\n
