ClassicalPlayer vs Album Appreciation

Is music more to you than just "songz"? When picking something to listen to, are you as likely to think of a composer and piece as an album? Is "shuffle play" on a symphony more than a little silly? ClassicalPlayer may be for you! ClassicalPlayer works with your device's music library. By contrast, Apple Classical and Apple Music are streaming services. They stream music from Apple's servers to your device; ClassicalPlayer organizes the library on your device. ClassicalPlayer presents your iPhone's or iPad's music library to you arranged by composer and pieces. Choose, for instance "Beethoven," and from the list of pieces of his that you have, choose "Symphony no. 5", and see the 4 movements ready to play in order. Push the play button, and ClassicalPlayer plays the movements (in order) and then pauses. You can also view your music by album or artist, and as songs and playlists. How does ClassicalPlayer find pieces, e.g., symphonies, in an album? By comparing the names of successive tracks. This isn't foolproof, but it works surprisingly well. ClassicalPlayer extracts piece and movement names from track names and presents your music organized by pieces.

Album Appreciation is an app that keeps track of whether you have played an album, when you last played it and how many times you have played it and displays a chart showing album listens. The app also lets you filter albums by genre or decade, and edit the genre and release date of albums you add to the app. The app includes several lists of essential albums across a wide variety of genres and decades and shows suggestions for albums you can add to the app. The lists of essential albums include 101 essential albums, Apple Music's top 100 Albums, Rolling Stone Magazine's top 500 albums (2003 and 2020 versions), National Public Radio's and BBC's list of 50 essential classical albums and lists of essential jazz and bluegrass albums.
