I have disabled the Music functionality and just use Music for iTunes kind of activities, and on the phone I use the iTunes Store app. Primephonic claimed to have the largest classical database in the world, at 230,000 albums."Ĭlick to expand.Sure, if you have kept the Music functions enabled when using Music on a Mac. A manual curation team worked to make sure everything was categorised correctly. "Founded in 2017, the service boasted over three and a half million tracks from 170,000 artists across 230,000 albums and 2,400 labels. They also want access to their classical catalogue, of course. I usually forget that I have the Apple TV app on my Mac, and I wouldn't mind being able to search for and buy or stream music and movies from one single app. "High end audio, Classical music, Technology, Music Downloads, Experiences, Streaming, DSD, Surround Sound, FLAC, Stereo Sound, classical, recording, Music, Labels, Artists, Performance, Concerts, Concert Hall, Orchestra, Conductor, Digital Music, Ensemble" Maybe Apple will merge iTunes, Music and Apple TV into one app, and acquired Primephonic mainly in order to have their employees work for Apple with everything related to what they listed as their expertise: I subscribe to Tidal, Deezer, YouTube Music, Netflix, HBO, Viasat and more, and I don't think I'm the only one who wish I didn't have to check out 3-4 of these services in order to look for a movie or song/album. While having separate apps for certain music styles IMO won't help in the long run, being able to hide songs and albums from certain genres, OTOH, could be quit helpful. The music industry is already rather ugly in several ways. Lots of them like Vivaldi's Four Seasons, Bach's Air on a G String and Pachelbel's Canon in D, but I'm not blaming them for not for being aware/liking of many other pieces – most music apps promote a lot of commercial songs but aren't that interested in mentioning Haydn' cello concerto/allegro, Keith Jarrett's Blossom, Ravel's Adagio Assai or Ich Ruf Sur Dir (Bach/Brendel). I don't know any classical music listeners who aren't also into non-classical styles, and I'm not aware of anyone listening to pop or jazz who aren't also like some of the classical repertoire. In order to gather all the info they need, they would get a long way with a Tidal subscription. If Apple would fix iTunes and Music, they wouldn't need a separate app for classical music, so I really hope this is their plan. Peter Gabriel is mentioned three times – no other names are in there. In the version of Red Rain up which I have on iTunes, the composers' name area is left empty. Another song on the same random album I looked up had 20 fields of info (drum programming, studio personell, producer s etc), and several of these fields contained several names. There are a two more parameters listed, but on more complex songs on the same album, there are more parameters. Here's most of what's listed for Peter Gabriels remastered version of Red Rain on Tidal: Maybe they'll use the classical music app as some sort of public beta before they implement these missing features in iTunes/Music. Likewise, many of those who don't listen to classical music would like to see info about which studio a song was recorded in, or search for songs written by Sting or tracks where Jeff Beck plays the guitar solo.Īpple distributes around 100 million songs, and entering the info for all these soungs would of course take a lot of time. But names of composers and libretto writers isn't really different from in pop/jazz folk music. In many cases, composers aren't listed either, even if there's a separate columns for composer which can be set tu always visible by users. pop music doesn't – for instance, there's often no way to see the full name for a piece in the current apps. Of course classical music suffers from certain limitations in ways that eg. If the planned move is to add such parameters to a new app, that must be an in-between step as part of a bugger plan about repairing iTunes/Music. I've heard comments about iTunes and Music for several years from users who miss the ability to see full credits for a song and also searchable parameters like producer, performers/musicians, vocalist, date published and so on. "Classical metadata is even more important, because classical needs to be searchable by pretty much every field: musicians, vocalist(s), composer, piece name, performing artist(s), label, conductor, orchestra, concert hall(!), date published, date performed, instrument(s), the list goes on."
