Apple has released Apple Music Classical as a standalone app for Android, two months after its debut on iOS. The orchestral-only app contains over five million classical music tracks with high-quality audio and spatial audio support. The Android app requires an Apple Music or Apple One subscription. - A search feature will let users find music based on composer, work, conductor, catalog number, and more.
- The tracks can be streamed in high quality at up to 192 kHz/24 bit hi-res lossless.
- Apple chose to release the app on Android before making it available on its own hardware ecosystem, given the lack of dedicated apps for iPad and Mac.
The app is a result of Apple's acquisition of Primephonic, a dedicated classical music subscription service. - The Android version replaces the previous standalone Primephonic app that went away after Apple's takeover.
- Notably, the app incorporates Primephonic's music metadata, search capabilities, playlists, and other features.
