Playing with the Apple Classical Music App

Posted

I’ve been listening to a lot more classical music lately. My wife said recently, “The older I get, the less interested I am in lyrics.”

I wouldn’t go that far, but it is nice to have beautiful, lyric-less music on while you work or read.

The Apple Classical Music app dropped today and I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I’m impressed with it.

I like how it breaks the music down by genre (sub-genre I guess), composer, and mood.

They also have “The Story of Classical,” a 9-part series where you can learn all about the genre. I’m excited to dig into that.

One strange note1 is that it’s only available on the iPhone right now, with an Android app coming soon.

Apple Music’s disjointed experiences continue to be a puzzler, especially when you consider how good Spotify’s overall cross-device, cross-app experience is.

If you want a good first-look review, check out this one on Six Colors.

That means we each take turns selecting a plugin or tool, and we cannot choose anything previously selected. It should be a lot of fun!
