I’ve used it already though just the front page offerings. Look forward to getting more out of it.

Shocking…apple users want a service that bloggers and influencers have zero interest in.

Pretty cool app

I see you’re knocking it out of the park again FFR .
One of the best things that could happen to consumers (ironically most so on the Android smartphone side) is bloggers and influencers having more and more instances of something they don’t care about/don’t want but it succeeds with consumers. Bloggers and influencers have outsized influence on tech but it is too often that influence is counter to what is best for the vast majority of consumers.

Any genre would be a hit. Do Rock music, and see what happens.

??? Rock Music or Hip Hop is sought the world over by young/young-ish people who will wear AirPods or similar to listen to the music at every step of their day. Classical music is a highly specific genre with a very specific audience that does not have that Rock music kind of listening power.

A better comparison would be: Do a Google or Amazon Classical Music app and see what happens compared to Apple Classical. While strictly opinion, I’ll bet the mortgage check those other apps downloads don’t come close to Apple Classic
