Classical is a harder (or at least different) problem and it's why specialist apps like Apple Music Classical exist.
- leokennis 7mo agoI was about to comment this too. For someone that explicitly states: > I don’t listen to pop songs. I prefer music of the 500-year tradition (...) And who apparently wants to stream music, it is wild he's not subscribed to Apple Music Classical which exactly circumvents all complaints in this article...
- earthnail 7mo agoEx spotifier here. Classical isn’t harder. It’s just so niche that leadership at spotify never bothered. It has a whole different taxonomy; it’s composer, not performer based etc. Spotify isn’t against new taxonomies outside of weatern pop music. The India launch, where ragas were super important, shows it. But the Indian market is vastly larger than the small (albeit loud) number of classical music enthusiasts. All that is to say, it’s a business decision, not a tech or AI problem. (I really like classical music, too, btw., so please don’t read this as me not respecting that user base.)
- Gigachad 7mo agoDoes it even make sense to DJ classical music? It’s done with electronic music to keep a continuous energy level for hours.
