Searching for, curating, creating playlists, and playing classical music is fundamentally no different than doing so for any other genre.
Yeah? How often do you care about the composer of a pop music song? How often do you care about the conductor or the orchestra? How often do you care about the venue or the date of the performance? How often do you care about what key it is in? How often is a pop album divided by suites?
The considerations of classical music productions for classical music fans are very different than the considerations of pop music for pop music fans and for very good reasons. You clearly don't know anything about this, so wind your neck in.
Like I said before, that info is nearly enabled by links and/or accordin elements right on the music page. It’s not a big deal nor is it some amazingly impossible thing that requires its own app.
Next you’ll be saying a web browser isn’t good enough to read about a composer and that you need a classical music themed web browser…
The facts that apps exist are proof positive that a web browser isn't a solution for all computing needs. Different tools for different tasks. And classical music is significantly different from pop music. Sure, Music could be adapted to support both pop and classical music, but it'd add bloat and a muddle of interface.
Classical music fans have been complaining about iTunes and Music.app for years, it's clearly insufficient. Seriously dude, you clearly have no knowledge or interest in classical music, so why are you here? Wind your neck in, this doesn't concern you.

It’s weird how some people will spend their time arguing that something they don’t know about and aren’t interested in shouldn’t exist for anyone else.
Ironically, the entire classical music catalog will continue to be available in the regular music app, so the existence of the new app literally has no effect whatsoever on someone who doesn’t want to use it.

Project much? You’re the one crying endlessly over nothing, and it appears you also don’t know what a “straw man” is. If you don’t download the new app nothing will change for you. The classical catalog will continue to be available in the Apple Music app, with no additional code for additional functions bloating that app. If you don’t want the thing, you won’t have the thing. It is literally the opposite of clutter.

Include it free with the basic Music subscription, but offer a classical only sub for say, $4.99. Makes sense to me and it alleviates every issue that people here have brought forth.
Not likely. The big reason for the separate app is the different cataloging requirements for classical music. That’s really it.
Apple still has to pay royalties for classical music, so the buffet pricing to the end user is still going to need to be the same in order to collect sufficient funds to pay per-stream to artists on the back end. Creating a new app with specialized features doesn’t somehow make classical music cheaper to deliver. If anything, the new app will may involve Apple paying more for classical content, by using Primephonic’s process of paying for time played, rather than per stream. A lot of classical content is much longer per track than the traditional three-minute pop song.
A dedicated TVOS app would be a nice tip of the hat - I don’t necessarily want to be tethered to AirPlay.
And there’s my issue with this: Apple TV is limited to 48khz for some reason. I can’t even stream files from my computer to the Apple TV on my sound system at a native resolution above 48khz, which is an really disappointing because there is no limitation of an internal DAC, and I can do so on my universal disc player released 7 years ago! All the Apple TV needs to do is pass the audio to my preamp.
Either Apple needs to enable Apple TV to play hi-res above 48khz via a software update, or release a third Apple TV in 3 years for people who actually can hear the difference between 48khz and 98khz (i.e. people with a halfway decent sound system).
I’ve been wishing for a while that they would restore the optical output that used to be included with Apple TV, which would also make it a lot easier to connect your Apple TV to an external DAC or other stereo components that don’t have HDMI. Almost no DACs take HDMI input, and if you invest big money on one of the few that does, it will start to be obsolete as soon as they update the HDMI spec, whereas optical digital signals don’t run that risk in the same way. If you want to use a high-end DAC from 10+ years ago with HDMI, it won’t pass through a 4K signal or HDR. I know you can solve this problem with a splitter or extractor, but it’s still inelegant and there aren’t a lot of great options there either.
The fact that Apple is doubling down on hi-res audio does seem like generally a good indicator that they care about this stuff, and maybe they will also find a way to extend AirPlay to support higher bit rates, especially if people have to run the app on their iPhones.
The dropping of the digital optical jack probably had more to do with labels wanting to phase them out for copyright protection concerns/paranoia. And lack of higher resolution options on Apple Music may be due to bandwidth and server limitations, BUT my iphone can store and play store and play up to 192khz. We shouldn’t have to stream audio through our iphones and a USB connection to get hi-res music from our phones or macs, when we’ve already invested in an Apple TV (or two…) to stream music directly.
Since most of us classical music listeners are fidelity fuss-pots, I’m hoping this can accessed via the Mac (which in my case is *cabled* to my HiFi via HDMI)….

My guess is that it will be, but the initial rollout is on iPhone in order to work the kinks out before expanding the variables by adding iPad, Apple TV and Mac apps.

Agree with this and comments regarding Apple TV above. I've so far avoided Apple Music because I have a large classical library in iTunes tagged and sorted the way I want, and remote speakers (airport express base stations) connected to amplifiers via toslink.
Classical music on my iPhone isn't what I'm looking for, Apple Music on my iMac connected to my home network and remote speakers, with a decent amount of screen real estate to see what I'm browsing is what I want.
Hopefully that's coming in time, but would have been nice to to have a couple sentences in the announcement to that effect.

“It’s better to have all the music in one app and use any deficiencies to make that app better. We don’t need a different app for every little thing.”
Next you’ll be praising a separate classic movies app for the old black and whites.
Apples resurrection came about by simplifying and refining everything. Now, it is starting to look like clutter again.
Project much? You’re the one crying endlessly over nothing, and it appears you also don’t know what a “straw man” is. If you don’t download the new app nothing will change for you. The classical catalog will continue to be available in the Apple Music app, with no additional code for additional functions bloating that app. If you don’t want the thing, you won’t have the thing. It is literally the opposite of clutter.
Nope. That’s you. Yet again.
No need to project. Just holding up the mirror for you.
I shared my thoughts, which I believe align more with the Apple ethos, and you had to keep coming back and making it personal.
Don’t get offended, it’s just an opinion about a needless app. Anyone who things basic search capabilities are needless bloat has zero idea what they’re talking about.
Since I’ve been living rent free in your head, I’ll do my best to clear out and let you get a better handle on life. There is no “us.” I know you’re confused about this, but their Never was. Not my fault if you keep refusing to let me go.
A separate app for classical makes a lot of sense. Organizing by genre, composer, historical era, ensembles, conductors, soloists and singers is FAR more complex than dealing with 3 minute pop songs
I don’t subscribe to Apple Music and Spatial Audio doesn’t interest me, but if it handles music better than the Mac Music app, that would be great.
Ever since Apple replaced iTunes with Music, it’s been MUCH harder to catalogue and later EDIT music in my Library. I used to be able to change things on my Mac, correct spelling for instance and it would automatically change the file on my iPhone’s iTune Library. The current Music app is incredibly limited.
Comments
Classical music fans have been complaining about iTunes and Music.app for years, it's clearly insufficient. Seriously dude, you clearly have no knowledge or interest in classical music, so why are you here? Wind your neck in, this doesn't concern you.
music belongs in the music , app, sorted by genre. Boom. Done.

Me:
This is a pretty good explainer, created before this pre-announcement of the app.
Classical music on my iPhone isn't what I'm looking for, Apple Music on my iMac connected to my home network and remote speakers, with a decent amount of screen real estate to see what I'm browsing is what I want.
Hopefully that's coming in time, but would have been nice to to have a couple sentences in the announcement to that effect.
