The article states fairly clearly why they are going to offer a dedicated app for classical music fans and it sounds to me that you can probably still listen to classical music via the Music app, but if you are a true classical music connoisseur, you know where the Music app falls short and

When you say you "acquired" it, do you mean you bought it brand new or is it used? If it's used maybe whoever had it didn't reset it back to factory defaults and this is the only time where a triple press of the power button will work unless of course later on when it's all set up and you

I doubt you would notice much of a difference with something like Bose Frames, but you can of course try. My wired V-Mota headset is a nice quality over-the-ear headset which cost about $200 eight or ten years ago and you can definitely tell the difference with it. From:

Hi. I acquired an iPad 8th generation 10 inch, and I'm trying to set it up. This one doesn't have a home button either. I thought that if I just activate it, hit the power button three times, it would turn voiceover on. I also tried activating it with Siri, but since I haven't been able to connect

It is exactly what the term indicates, it is a format which is not lossy like MP3 or M4A. Both of these formats are highly compressed and certain things are left out, this makes it possible to stream at a lower bitrate which especially in the early days of the Internet was important. The human
