Apple offers Apple Music Classical on Android before the versions for iPad and Mac.

He is rare for Android smartphone users to be pampered by Apple. What happens with the app Apple Music Classical is a bit exceptional. Indeed, from today, owners of an Android device subscribed to Apple Music can take advantage of the streaming application dedicated to classical music.

According to 9TB 5 Mac, the explanation for this sudden affection for Android users is actually very down to earth. Apple Music Classical was born from the acquisition in 2021 of Primephonic, a classical music streaming service that offered search functions adapted to this genre and a different artist compensation model.

Apple Music Classical is available on Android before iPadOS and macOS

As 9TB 5 Mac points out, “it makes sense to prioritize Apple Music Classical for Android over Apple’s other platforms. This separate app is based on Apple’s acquisition of Primephonic, which was a standalone classical music subscription service and, in the same way that Apple Music for Android replaced Beats Music, PrimePhonic for Android disappeared after the takeover by Apple. It was therefore a question of quickly filling a hole in the apple brand’s streaming offer.

Apple Music Classical takes up the main lines of this defunct service while distinguishing itself from Apple Music “very short” by its differentiated user interface and specific metadata. In addition to this, the recordings made available to listeners are broadcast in 192kHz/24-bit lossless audio format, with some works even being available in multi-channel sound. Enough to satisfy the most demanding fans of this style of music.
