The new version of Apple Music Classical has a number of useful new features. We have listed them for you.
Support for CarPlay and Siri
The Apple Music Classical app has had an update. The new version 2.1 offers support for CarPlay and Siri, among other things. In addition, the app has a number of stability and performance improvements, said Apple.
Support for CarPlay was already added to Apple Music Classical once this year. Only it was removed again a few hours later. With version 2.1, the app is now available again on CarPlay, as shown in the screenshot below.
With CarPlay support, Apple Music Classical listeners can access their playlists, library, recommendations and more on their car screen. And with Siri in iOS 18.1 and later, Apple says they can also search for composers, artists, works and instruments in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch via CarPlay. More languages will follow in due course.
Apple Music Classical
Apple Music Classical first launched in March 2023 and gives users with a standard Apple Music subscription access to more than five million classical music tracks at no additional cost. The streaming app features advanced search functionality, offers exclusive artwork, extensive metadata, listening recommendations and much more.
The app is available for both your iPhone and iPad. It is based on Primephonic, a classical music streaming service that was acquired by Apple in 2021. The app offers the same classical music as the regular version of Apple Music, but thanks to the specially designed search function, searching for classical music pieces is much easier.
Apple Music Classical has already been improved several times. Support for the iPad was added about a year ago, and since version 2.0 album booklets have been available for thousands of albums, including translations and additional information.
