Apple Music Classical 2.0 Adds Thousands of Full Album Booklets

Apple Music Classical’s version 2.0 update adds thousands of full album booklets and new features.

Apple Music’s classical music streaming service introduced last year, Apple Music Classical, has received a version 2.0 update today featuring album booklets for thousands of albums with multi-language liner notes, composer biographies, information about the orchestra, conductors, soloists, and more.

The update also adds a new Recently Added section to the Library. Users can download the booklet available for an album by selecting the album and tapping the open book icon in the top-right corner. The booklet can then be viewed by using zoom gestures and scrolling.

The Apple Music Classical app brings Apple Music subscribers access to over five million classical music tracks, as well as new high-quality releases, and hundreds of curated playlists, exclusive albums, and additional features like composer bios. The app has a more simplistic interface specifically for interacting with classical music. Users can search by composer, work, conductor, catalog number, and more.

Apple also commissioned high-resolution digital portraits of famous composers such as Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Sebastian Bach, and Frédéric Chopin for the app, which utilize color palettes and artistic references from the relevant period. More unique artwork is added all the time, with more on the way.

Apple first made its classical music app available to all Apple Music subscribers back in March last year, following the launch of iOS 16.4. The service is based on Primephonic, a classical music streaming service Apple obtained in 2021. The company released its own version of the app after two years of development.

As Apple Music Classical is an app designed specifically for iOS, you initially must have used an iPhone or iPad to use it. The iPad version was released in November 2023. But an Android version soon followed, available on the Google Play Store, though users will still require an Apple Music subscription to access Apple Music Classical.
