Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens BetaCat_HA, Sean_ wax gourd, TRANSCENDE, iXeonor, 91 Koo Tianle, Xiaodi for the clues delivery! CTOnews.com, March 28 (Xinhua)-- the Apple Music Classical Classical Music app went on sale on App Store today, and Apple released a supporting document explaining why it decided to launch an app specifically for classical music.

In short, Apple says the app is designed to support the complex metadata of classical music: "Classical music is different in that it has longer and more detailed titles, multiple artists per work, and the recording of many known tracks. The Apple Classical Music app is designed to support the complex data structures of classical music."

Apple offers a longer explanation on a new Apple Classical Music page:

Classical music usually involves multiple musicians recording works that have been recorded many times and have different names. For example, from the official Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 14 to the popular alias "Moonlight Sonata", or in different languages, such as German Mondschein Sonata. This complexity means that classical music lovers have not been well served by the streaming platform. Until now, a unique app, included in Apple Music subscriptions, gives these classical music lovers editing and catalog content that they have always lacked.

The supporting documentation also answers some common questions about the app, many of which are related to how Apple Classical Music Apps integrate with standard Apple Music Apps.

Apple's Apple Music Classical Classical Music app offers more than 5 million classical music tracks, which can be used for free on iOS 15.4 and later as long as there is a basic Apple Music subscription. The app is based on Primephonic, a classical music streaming service that Apple acquired in 2021. According to CTOnews.com, the app is currently only available for iPhone, and an Android version is coming soon.
