I wish I were there. My great Michigan trip was possible because I had access to quality guidebooks from Bookshare. They said to avoid mosquito season, which ends in July. I visited in August and experienced small town rural America for the first time. The only jazz folks had heard was Vince

Kelly, Thanks for the tip about the Oscar Peterson recordings. I was fortunate and saw him with Ella Fitzgerald in the 80's in concert. An amazing evening! Sounds like you had a great summer! Richard, USA. “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” --

Re: How Apple gave people access to a library full of classical music – and tried to make it accessible

Besides classical, Apple is working hard to bring access to many forgotten jazz recordings to Apple Music listeners. A friend of mine is a big jazz fan. He discovered Apple Music is the only online music service that has albums of jazz pianist Oscar Peterson that were released decades ago and

that is a great article; thank you for posting. I just downloaded the Apple Music Classical app and took it for a spin and it looks great. By the way, I found out that I could use airplay with my Sonos speakers, so that will be really nice to use Apple Music classical with airplay, and my Sonos

How old are your Studio speakers? When you buy a product from one eco system (Amazon) and you are primarily trying to use it with another (Apple) you may always run into issues. This is why sticking with brands which support multiple systems is always a better idea, Sonos comes to mind here,

Re: How Apple gave people access to a library full of classical music – and tried to make it accessible

This works for one speaker but you can’t pair two of them. Believe me I have tried this! And I like to listen to my music and stereo that’s why I bought two expensive speakers. I’m just disappointed that I didn’t know that I would never be able to hear Apple Music without buying new speakersJudy

Thank you for this information. Mine is an older studio. I’ve invested a lot of money here so Apple will just have to go. Spotify works quite well.Judy Wilkinson On Oct 30, 2023, at 11:52 AM, Sieghard Weitzel wrote: Here again what I wrote, not sure if the first message made it:   Hi

Here again what I wrote, not sure if the first message made it: Hi Judy, I just Googled this and as with many Echo speakers, there are multiple generations of them by now. It seems that the latest version of the Echo Studio (2022) does support Airplay 2 which means if your Echo Studio is one

Re: How Apple gave people access to a library full of classical music – and tried to make it accessible

When classic came out, I am very excited Lee subscribe to Apple Music. I have found out that I cannot use it, however. I have smart speakers when I use Spotify a button pops up next to the play button that says it hooked to other speakers or something like that, and I’m able to to hook it to my
