It has options for higher quality audio and a substantial list of curated playlists, including classical ones.Īmazon Music Unlimited – worth investigating to see what another tech giant provides. Tidal – in my opinion, the best of the Spotify equivalents and the one that I use daily. However, it has no dedicated classical features, and some users (myself included) won’t touch it because of its links to the far-right Joe Rogan podcast. It’s included here because it’s still the largest and has the most extensive hardware compatibility. Spotify – the original all-you-can-eat music streaming app. For now, it’s only available on iPhone/iPad, with an Android version to follow at some point in the future. The main Apple Music app covers all genres the bolt on provides classical-oriented metadata and curated content. Its distinguishing feature is that many recordings have press reviews and awards information attached to them, to help you find your way through the maze of options for much-recorded works.Īpple Music Classical – a newly launched free app which bolts on to the paid-for Apple Music service. The service also contains extensive classical-oriented metadata. Presto Music – launched this year by this long-standing retailer of CDs, downloads and sheet music. Its user interface is unashamedly aimed at packing in as much information about each recording as it can into the available screen space.
Idagio – the original app which set the bar for classical music streaming, with extensive classical-oriented metadata allowing you to search by composer and work. (Primephonic has merged into Apple, and I’ve omitted Qobuz.) I’ll also comment on various platforms that I haven’t included in the main comparative review. From the list last time, I’ve added Presto Music and Amazon Music Unlimited. Once again, I’ve chosen six platforms to compare, each of which has an extensive collection of classical music recordings available on a “full catalogue” basis.
