Apple has traditionally been known for maintaining a closed ecosystem, limiting its services to its own products. However, there are some services where Apple is deviating from its philosophy and allowing users without Apple devices to enjoy certain offerings, such as Apple Music Classical. Let’s delve into the details.
First and foremost, it’s important to note that Apple, despite its tendency to keep its ecosystem closed, does provide access to certain services for Android users. The most prominent and widely used service in this regard is Apple Music. Recognizing the need to compete with Spotify in terms of user numbers, Apple made the strategic decision to make Apple Music available to everyone. While the percentage of Apple users who use Apple Music still outweighs the percentage of Android users, every additional user counts and contributes to the overall growth of the service.
Apple Music Classical is now available on Android
Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Apple Music Classical made its way to the Android operating system. Yesterday, Apple officially announced the arrival of this application and service to Android, and there are no significant changes compared to its iOS counterpart, which is perfectly reasonable.
To enjoy Apple Music Classical on your Android device, the process is simple. Just like in iOS, you need to have an Apple Music subscription. The classical music service is not available as a standalone option; it is integrated within Apple Music itself.
Now, you might be curious about what this new Apple app offers and what sets it apart. Apple Music Classical is essentially a specialized version of Apple Music focused exclusively on classical music. It boasts an extensive catalog of albums and playlists, featuring over five million tracks. Most importantly, it provides a unique approach to experiencing classical music, catering to the specific needs and preferences of classical music enthusiasts. The app allows for targeted searches, enabling users to filter results by composer, work, conductor, catalog number, and more. In essence, it is an app that has been meticulously designed and developed by and for lovers of classical music, offering a delightful and immersive experience.
