![]() ![]() As music libraries are continually expanding, other streaming services could learn a thing or two from Apple Music Classical's stronger metadata implementation to help every kind of music lover find the exact content they desire. ![]() If, like me, you've spent far too much time searching for a particular recording or version of a piece of classical music, you'll appreciate how stronger metadata can help deliver more accurate search results. The app claims to offer more than 5 million classical tracks and complete works from new releases to celebrated masterpieces, and favorite playlists integrate seamlessly with your music library for easy playback from the regular Apple Music app. Searches often miss the mark when it comes to finding specific classical content, but the dedicated Apple Music Classical app (available from the App Store) uses stronger metadata to enable searches by composer, work, conductor, and even catalog number to find specific recordings instantly. That's because most streaming service searches use metadata that catalogs content by artist, genre, song title, and album title, and isn't capable of handling the complex way classical music is cataloged. Many of the best music streaming services have a good selection of classical music content in their libraries, but they can often make searching for classical works feel inaccessible. What's more, though, there's some suggestion that HomePod speakers may actually be able to go beyond lossless resolution support as they already share 24-bit/48kHz audio signals between other HomePod speakers in multiroom setups.Īpple Music has been focusing on broadening its reach by introducing classical music lovers to its platform through a dedicated classical app, which is free to existing subscribers. However, I should also point out that if you have an AirPlay-capable speaker, you can also hear lossless audio when using Apple Music connected to a playback device via AirPlay. The HomePod 2 is an ideal model for making the most of Apple's Lossless 16-bit/44.1kHz (CD-quality), and spatial audio content.Īs part of Apple's perfectly tuned ecosystem, the HomePod 2 is an ideal model for making the most of Apple's Lossless 16-bit/44.1kHz (CD-quality), and spatial audio content. It’s all done automatically, without you needing to do anything. Like the original, the HomePod 2 uses built-in microphones to sonically "map" the room it’s placed in and adjusts the audio output to sound best for that room. ![]() The newly launched HomePod 2 sounds just as good as the original, while adding a few more smart home capabilities. Although AirPods headphones don't actually support lossless audio, Apple's HomePod speakers do and are among the best smart speaker music systems on the planet. No other music streaming service has its own range of audio components. It costs $3.99 / £3.99 via the iOS app store - but if you don't want to pay, you can follow the developer's Twitter account to keep track of new spatial audio releases. As an Apple Music subscriber, it will automatically find out which of the tracks and albums in your music library are also available in spatial audio without having to carry out lengthy searches of your favorite artist's back catalog. Speaking of which, Music Library Tracker is a third-party app for iPhone and iPad that has been developed to integrate with the Apple Music library to track spatial audio content changes. It's a long way from Spotify's new scroll through cards UI that appears to be more focussed on podcasts, audiobooks and video content that I have no interest in. The interface looks smart, and the clean and easy to navigate tabs do an excellent job of bringing together artists and genres of music I like. Meanwhile, ever since Apple Music’s big redesign for iOS 10, Apple Music has been focussing on a traditional music experience. ![]() Spotify appears to be going through something of an identity crisis following a redesigned TikTok-like home feed introduced last month, along with AI DJ that attempts to enhance the 'personalized feel' of its user experience by inserting computer generated commentary between tracks.Īpple Music's Browse tab feels perfectly tuned to my music tastes with an excellent mix of playlists, hit songs, new releases, and spatial audio content, which is what it's about after all. ![]()
