Apple Music Classical is out

I understand how a different type of search is beneficial for classical music, but why isn't this just a feature of Apple Music?

It will be interesting to see how they define "classical" — Does it include only Western art music? Does it include only music from the Baroque and after? What about Perotin? Does it include classical musical traditions from non-western musics? Does it include folk musics? How about modern movements like 'musique concrète' or avant-garde jazz? How about instrumental film scores? Anime film scores?

Only in a few countries where it's now the 28th. EU and US have a while longer to wait.

This page seems to indicate that it is not in fact out.<p>I am pretty excited for this though. I do like classical music but it can be a pain to figure out which recording of a song to listen to. Some interpretations really annoy me especially with respect to piano music. Orchestral music I don&#x27;t know as much about and most of the recordings I&#x27;ve listened seem fine although I know some people have a lot of opinions on various recordings&#x2F;interpretations.

On one hand, I’m stoked because I only listen to instrumentals, so this seems great for me. On the other… Why not just fix the UI of Apple Music? It drives me bonkers that when I go to the browse section, it is 99% crap that I would NEVER listen to. Everything I listen to is instrumentals and sleep music. Ambient noise, etc. Why are you recommending The Beach Boys to me??? No, I do not want to listen to Cardi B. When the have I ever listened to country music? Never! Why is country one of the top categories under browse?<p>I want to browse for music that I actually listen to! Why is there no option for me to remove categories that I will never listen to.

Is this US-only? Still not available in Canada from what I can see, still showing &#x27;Coming Soon&#x27; with an expected release of tomorrow, March 28.

Was there really that much demand for this kind of app? I&#x27;m still going to check it out. Hopefully it&#x27;s snappier than regular AM and they can use this app as a &quot;testing ground&quot; for changes to the other app.

For people confused why they don’t see it, on Reddit, the only people seeing it are in places like Singapore and Malaysia.<p>Therefore I assume it launches at a specific time in each location?

&gt; Requires an Apple Music subscription (Individual, Student, Family, or Apple One). Not available with the Apple Music Voice Plan.<p>This reads to me that it does not allow local&#x2F;offline libraries. Is that correct?

All I want to know is if this app has cross fade. It’s been on android forever but not the iOS Apple Music and it makes no sense.

Still not available here (US).

Still not available here (UK) yet... says tomorrow

Not available in NL yet either (coming tomorrow).

Not yet for me.
