Apple Music Classical Now Available for Android

A world that revolves around maximizing revenue. There are far more Android users than iPad users.

Yeah, for sure, I totally get it. But just a couple of years ago they touted the power they gave devs to write for iOS and macOS at the same time. Don't they use their own tools? 🤣

You can download songs in Apple Music. I find music in AM Classical, add it to my library and then download in AM if I want it offline. That’s a little clunky but it keeps everything together that I want to keep, rather than having downloads across two apps.

I’m not saying that’s the best way to do that. The libraries and listening history are linked across apps so it seems like it would be fairly straightforward to manage downloads from either app.

I’m not sure I understand completely how to do this, but I’ll try to figure it out. Because at present, I have a lot of classical music on Apple Music in a library and also download it. I’ve been doing a separate thing on the Apple classical music app. I don’t see how to combine those, but I’ll play around with it.

One way to do it, is to search for the music, you want to listen to offline, in Apple Music Classical, say Mozart Piano Concertos No. 19 - 25. Then you add those to a Playlist in Apple Music Classical. The same Playlist will also appear in standard Apple Music, where you can download it into your Music Library to make it available offline. There might be other ways to do it that I am unaware of.
As I have mentioned above, I just don't like this cross functionality, because it mixes up my Classical and non Classical music. I don't see, why they did not keep them completely separate. But at least it provides an option to download the songs onto your device.

Just in case you didn't see the reply from another commenter, here's how you combine your process: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...w-available-for-android.2390886/post-32233091

I have a classical playlist I've been using and adding to for years in Apple Music (iTunes before that). Now with Apple Music Classical, I search in that app and add songs to my playlist. Then, if I want to download the music I do that in Apple Music.
