Actually I would consider using Airplay to send Apple Music Classical to Sonos as a perfectly acceptable solution at least for now. Given how many music services Sonos supports and the fact that an Android version of Apple Music Classical is apparently in the works, I am pretty sure it is just a matter of time until it will be available natively from Sonos. Alternatively, hopefully Apple will also release an Apple Music Classic app for the Apple TV and if so and if you have a Sonos surround setup, you could then play it to Sonos from your Apple TV. I just read a post on a Sonos Facebook Group that even though spacial music/Atmos is now supported by the Sonos app, playing it from the latest version of the Apple TV 4K apparently is a big difference in terms of audio quality. Therefore I would imagine that this might be the same with Apple Music Classical if it were available both on the Apple TV and natively via the Sonos app.

I know that’s not the best workaround and you should be able to ask Sonos directly to play from the app. Tai Tomasi, J.D., M.P.A. Email: tai.toma...@gmail.com Sent from my iPhone.

The quality is high as you would expect with classical music for maximum enjoyment. The ability to browse by composer, genre, or even instrument as well as period made for hours of fun over the weekend. There are two small hitches that sort of take the shine off the Apple. And I’m hoping they eventually correct this. I did call both Apple and Sonos and speak to them in this regard. First, the app is not currently a supported service of the Sonos system. While Apple music is easily accessed all over my residence, the Apple Classical music App needs a workaround to be channeled through the whole house Sonos system. Second, while the app is available for the iPhone and iPad free to anyone who subscribes to Apple Music, Apple has no plans to put this app in the Mac App Store. I have an M1 MacBook Pro so had expected to just load it as I do several iPad apps and use Airfoil as a workaround. That is a Rogue Amoeba app and works very well with Sonos. However, so far I have not been able to enjoy the Apple Classical App through the whole house system. And I am hoping they correct that with a future update either from Sonos or from Apple. Because I absolutely love the app. Merv On Apr 3, 2023, at 1:46 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <siegh...@live.ca> wrote: Just curious what some of the classical music fans on this list have to say about the new app now that it's been out publically for a week. I remember a few years ago there was a discussion how bad the regular Apple Music app is when it comes to the somewhat different and more complex meta data associated with classical music and I just read an article which was extremely positive regarding the new app. Best regards, Sieghard -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
