Apple has recently announced the launch date for its new classical-focused app, Apple Music Classical, which follows its acquisition of the much-loved classical music streaming service, Primephonic in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the imminent release of this new app, classical music enthusiasts are eager to know what\u2019s in store for them. In this article, we\u2019ll be answering some of the most pressing questions about Apple Music Classical, including what makes it different from the main Apple Music app, whether it includes Primephonic, and whether it will support high-resolution and spatial audio tracks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Apple releasing a standalone app for classical music?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unlike other contemporary genres, classical music has its own set of rules and requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Classical music listeners want access to conductors, composers, compositions, movements, catalogue numbers, labels, and other specialized metadata that doesn\u2019t exist for other music genres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By releasing a standalone classical music app, Apple is looking to make it easier for users to search for classical tracks, shuffle works without jumbling movements around, pinpoint composers without confusing them with artists, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Does Apple Music Classical include Primephonic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Primephonic was the classical streaming music service that Apple absorbed and closed down in 2021, and it forms the basis for the new Apple Music Classical app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, users expecting to see a perfect replica of Primephonic <\/a>when they launch Apple Music Classical are likely to be disappointed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Primephonic’s features will soon be integrated into Apple Music Classical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means classical music enthusiasts can expect to enjoy the same granular metadata support they love, along with a refreshed interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new app features serif fonts in headlines and a different set of tabs at the bottom of the screen, but it still maintains Apple Music’s signature look and feels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can’t wait for you to experience the best of both worlds when it comes to classical music on Apple Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Apple<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How many tracks will be available on Apple Music Classical?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple promises that Apple Music Classical will include access to \u201cover 5 million\u201d tracks, including \u201ceverything from new releases to celebrated masterpieces.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides its deep classical catalogue, Apple Music Classical will also offer \u201cthousands of exclusive albums,\u201d although it\u2019s not clear what\u2019s included in Apple\u2019s trove of exclusive classical titles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Will Apple Music Classical support lossless and high-res music?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music Classical will indeed support high-resolution audio, with some tracks available at up to 24-bit\/192kHz resolution. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember that you\u2019ll need an external DAC (such as the iFi Go, Link, for example) to experience tracks at audio resolutions greater than 24-bit\/48kHz (commonly accepted as the threshold of high-resolution audio). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to high-resolution audio, Apple Music Classical will also support spatial audio, allowing you to listen to select tracks in the immersive Dolby Atmos format. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Will you be able to download tracks from Apple Music Classical?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, Apple Music Classical won\u2019t support offline downloads of classical music tracks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Verge has reported that the app will not allow users to download tracks for offline listening, which is ideal for times when you don\u2019t have an internet connection or when you want to conserve bandwidth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, whether the app will support offline listening in the future is yet to be seen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>What devices will Apple Music Classical work on?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For now, Apple Music Classical only has an app for iPhone, which means there\u2019s no native version of the app for iPad, tvOS, or macOS yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, users can still access Apple Music Classical on their other Apple devices by logging into the app on their iPhones and streaming it to their other devices using AirPlay.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s unclear whether Apple has plans to release a native app for other devices in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>Is Apple Music classical free?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music Classical is not a separate service but rather a new section within the existing Apple Music subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It offers classical music enthusiasts an extensive collection of classical music, exclusive releases, expert recommendations, and curated playlists. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To access Apple Music Classical, you’ll need to have a full Apple Music subscription (Individual, Student, Family, or Apple One). Unfortunately, the Apple Music Voice Plan does not include access to Apple Music Classical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How do I listen to classical music on Apple Music?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You’ll need to install \u200cApple Music\u200cto listen to Apple Music Classical. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of right now, there is no sign of an \u200cApple Music\u200c Classical app in iOS 16.4, but that doesn’t mean that it won’t come in a later beta or with the iOS 16.4 launch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>When will Apple Music Classical be available?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple will launch its classical streaming service \u2013 Apple Music Classical \u2013 on March 28th at no extra charge to existing Apple Music subscribers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company has been promising a classical music add-on since acquiring Primephonic in 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apple has commissioned unique artwork of famous artists for \u200cApple Music\u200c Classical using color palettes and artistic references from the relevant classical period. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first portraits include Ludwig van Beethoven, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Chopin, and Johann Sebastian Bach, with more to come in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple Music Classical offers a unique experience for classical music lovers with its own set of features and functionalities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the benefits mentioned earlier, meditation can help reduce stress and anxiety, improve focus and concentration, and enhance overall emotional well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An Android version of \u200cApple Music\u200c Classical is in the works and set to arrive “soon,” according to Apple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One study found that just eight weeks of mindfulness meditation practice reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression in participants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another study found that just a few minutes of meditation can help reduce feelings of stress and increase feelings of calmness and relaxation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In terms of focus and concentration, research has shown that regular meditation practice can increase the thickness of the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for attention and decision-making. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


This means that, over time, meditation can help you become better at staying focused and making sound decisions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, meditation can be a powerful tool for enhancing emotional well-being. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By practicing mindfulness and staying present at the moment, you can learn to observe your thoughts and emotions without getting caught up in them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This can help you develop a greater sense of emotional stability and resilience and can also improve your relationships with others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, there are many benefits to incorporating meditation into your daily routine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, improve focus, or enhance your emotional well-being, meditation can be a powerful tool for achieving your goals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
