Why is Apple releasing a standalone app for classical music?
Classical music plays by its own set of rules compared to pop, rock, jazz, country, and other contemporary genres. Besides artists, albums, and track names, classical music listeners want access to conductors, composers, compositions, movements, catalog numbers, labels, and other specialized metadata that doesn’t exist for other music genres.
By releasing a standalone classical music app, Apple is looking to make it easier for users to search for classical tracks, shuffle works without jumbling movements around, pinpoint composers without confusing them with artists, and so on.
