The world of classical music is about to be revolutionized with the imminent launch of the Apple Music Classical app. This new app promises to be a boon for music lovers who prefer the works of Beethoven, Mozart, and Tchaikovsky to the latest chart-topping hits. However, despite its many advantages, there is one drawback that might put a damper on the app’s appeal.
The requirement that users must have an internet connection to listen to music on the Apple Music Classical app is a bit of a disappointment. There will be no offline listening option available at launch, which means that music lovers who live in areas with poor connectivity or who like to listen to music on the go will be out of luck. This limitation may not be a deal-breaker for everyone, but it’s certainly worth considering before you download the app.
Despite this limitation, there are many reasons to be excited about the Apple Music Classical app. With over five million tracks in its catalogue, this app promises to be a treasure trove for classical music enthusiasts. Moreover, Apple Music Classical will stream songs in 24-bit/192kHz hi-res lossless quality and in spatial audio with Dolby Atmos, which means that users will be able to enjoy their favorite pieces of music in unparalleled sound quality.
There are a few other minor issues to be aware of, however. For example, there isn’t currently an iPad app for Apple Music Classical, and Android users will have to wait a little while longer before they can access the app’s features. But Apple has assured us that an Android app is “coming soon,” so this shouldn’t be a major problem for long.
