Apple Music Classical users can now enjoy a seamless experience while driving, as the highly anticipated integration with CarPlay is officially here. This update makes it easier for classical music lovers to access their music library, curated playlists, and personalized recommendations directly from their vehicle’s infotainment display.

Prior to this update, Apple Music Classical users had to rely on the main Apple Music app to access their favorite classical compositions while on the road. However, starting with version 2.1, Apple Music Classical now works natively with CarPlay, offering a more streamlined and accessible way to enjoy classical music while driving. The update ensures that users can browse their library, access playlists, and even interact with content such as newly added releases directly from CarPlay, just like they would with the standard Apple Music app.

In addition to the CarPlay support, Siri integration has also been added. Now, users can ask Siri to search for composers, specific works, artists, or instruments within the Apple Music Classical app, making it even easier to find and play music hands-free while on the go. This voice control feature supports multiple languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch, with more languages expected to roll out in future updates.

The latest update is part of a series of improvements to Apple Music Classical, which first launched in March 2023. Apple Music Classical, which is available at no additional cost to Apple Music subscribers, offers access to over five million classical tracks, a rich catalog that includes everything from iconic masterpieces to newly released works. The app also stands out with features tailored specifically to classical music lovers, such as advanced search functionality by composer, work, conductor, or even catalog number.

With its high-definition audio support, including up to 24-bit/192 kHz Hi-Res Lossless and Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, Apple Music Classical promises a superior listening experience. Whether you are listening to a new release or a timeless favorite, users can enjoy an immersive, ad-free listening experience on CarPlay.

Apple Music Classical also provides rich metadata, insightful album notes, and thousands of exclusive album booklets. This attention to detail ensures that listeners are always informed about what they’re hearing, offering complete descriptions of key works, composer biographies, and even “The Story of Classical” audio guides to help users understand the history behind the music they love.

For those already subscribed to Apple Music, Apple Music Classical can be downloaded for free from the App Store. The update brings stability and performance improvements, ensuring a smooth and reliable experience across all supported devices.
