However, why did Apple launch an iPhone app dedicated to classical music? The company released a support document to explain the reasons. According to the company, the app would  support classical music’s complex metadata structure.

Apple said in a document, “Classical music is different. 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 is designed to support the complex data structure of classical music.”

The company claimed in a report that the app would make classical music easily searchable, browsable, and accessible for beginners. The app reportedly offers more than five million classical music tracks to users.
