Playing with the Apple Classical Music App

Posted

I’ve been listening to a lot more classical music lately. My wife said recently, “The older I get, the less interested I am in lyrics.”

I wouldn’t go that far, but it is nice to have beautiful, lyric-less music on while you work or read.

The Apple Classical Music app dropped today and I’m not sure what I was expecting, but I’m impressed with it.

I like how it breaks the music down by genre (sub-genre I guess), composer, and mood.

They also have “The Story of Classical,” a 9-part series where you can learn all about the genre. I’m excited to dig into that.

One strange note1 is that it’s only available on the iPhone right now, with an Android app coming soon.

Apple Music’s disjointed experiences continue to be a puzzler, especially when you consider how good Spotify’s overall cross-device, cross-app experience is.

    The WordPress space is cheap! But that shouldn’t let you keep your prices down.

    Is that a fair assessment? Maybe I’m being too harsh, but anecdotally it’s true. I suffer from not charging enough, in part due to being in the WordPress space too long. And I know other freelancers who have the same feelings. But that’s why I’m grateful that I have good mentors in my life. And pricing what you’re worth – that’s what we’re going to talk about today.
