Apple has released the Apple Music Classical app for Android smartphones and tablets. This is surprising as the app hasn't made it to Apple's own platforms like iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS yet. So, in many ways, this is a revolutionary step from Apple as it has always favored its own platforms over others like Android and Windows.
Apple Music Classical is available for Android phones and tablets ahead of iPad and Macs
You can now install the Apple Music Classical app on your Samsung smartphone and tablet from the Google Play Store. If you have an Apple Music subscription, you can listen to music on Apple Music Classical using the same subscription. The app offers more than 5 million classical soundtracks and symphonies in Hi-Res Lossless (192 kHz/24-bit) quality and Dolby Atmos. It handles metadata very differently than the standard Apple Music app, and that's what separates it from Apple Music. It has longer and more detailed titles, multiple artists for each work, and hundreds of recordings of well-known pieces.
The Apple Music Classical app for Android is based on Primephonic's Android app. Apple acquired Primephonic a few years ago and converted it into Apple Music Classical. The app helps new users get acquainted with classical music through its elaborate list of essential playlists, composer biographies, deep-dive guides for many soundtracks, and new browsing features.
For Android, the Apple Music Classical app doesn't support Google Cast Audio natively, but you can cast its audio from the music player widget from the notification center. Right now, it doesn't support Android Auto, but we can expect Apple to bring the feature as it did the same with Apple Music a few years ago.
