Looks nice but I have to play with it more. It has certainly been "Appleinzed". Playlists feature single movements of pieces that make little musical sense outside of the context of the whole composition they were meant to be a part of. For new users looking to dop their toes in the Classical world the absolute first, featured piece you see is Mahler's 9th symphony. Certainly not something new listeners would likely enjoy as a starter piece. Search looks good and the browse part offers good choices of the various genres. It imported all my classical albums and only my classical albums from Apple music. Good start

That's a fundamental flaw of playlists, and not unique to this app or to any music created before the streaming era.

While you're thinking about playlists, I should introduce you to classical radio. Out-of-context movements are the norm there!
