![]() ![]() Of course, that was the era when many of us acquired our “Beatles” collections from Napster, so things were pretty primitive. I think that the last time I looked at Gracenote was more than 2 decades ago, and back then it suffered fatally from its crowdsourcing method of data collection. If you have a CD inserted, Apple will use Gracenote to try and identify the disc, applying whatever metadata is in the Gracenote database, but that’s about it. ![]() We look forward to hearing how well Apple Music Classical manages the highly specific metadata preferred by classical music aficionados. It has been 19 months since Apple purchased Primephonic and promised a dedicated classical music app in 2022, but better late than never (see “ Apple Buys Classical Music Service Primephonic,” 31 August 2021). Like Primephonic, it will offer thorough and accurate metadata - a challenge for services that cram all music genres into one destination - and you’ll be able to search “by composer, work, conductor, or even catalog number, and find specific recordings instantly.” In addition, the app will only support iOS devices running iOS 15.4 or newer at launch.Īpple Music Classical will stream at up to 192 kHz/24-bit hi-res lossless, and Apple says it will include “thousands” of spatial audio recordings. The release date will be later this month, on March 28. However, while the app is being announced today, it’s only available for pre-order on the App Store for now. Based on its 2021 acquisition of Amsterdam-based streamer Primephonic, the new Apple Music Classical app will offer Apple Music subscribers access to over 5 million classical music tracks, including new releases in high-quality audio, as well as hundreds of curated playlists, thousands of exclusive albums, and other features like composer bios and deep dives on key works, Apple says. #1667: OS Rapid Security Responses, 1Password and 2FA, using Siri to request musicĪpple Music Classical to Debut This MonthĪpple is launching a new music streaming service focused on classical music.#1668: Updated Rapid Security Responses, OS public betas, screen saver bug fixed, “Red Team Blues” book review.#1669: OS security updates, ambiguity of emoji, small business payments with Melio, Twitter now X.#1670: Arc Web browser hits 1.0 release, “Do You Use It?” polls about Apple features. ![]()
