Welcome.
Quote:Now that the classical music specialist PRIMEPHONIC has announced a merger with Apple Music and given that a high proportion of classical listeners are fussy about sound quality, plus the fact that all Primephonic subscribers have been given 6 months free sub to Apple’s service, isn’t this the time to agree terms with Apple for an integrated offering along the same lines as those with Spotify, Qobuz and Tidal?
I realise that dealing with Apple wouldn’t be easy but it could well be now or never. Apple Music dies not gave a broad appeal among classical listeners whose natural designation would, I think, be one if the three above. This is especially true among MoOde users, so MoOde Audio has domething Apple should want.
From my personal perspective, there's no terms to agree with Apple for a FOSS project like moOde. The other streaming services you refer to are available to moOde only because of work by other, third-party developers.
As for Primephonic, I was an early and loyal subscriber but I have no interest whatsoever in becoming an Apple Music subscriber. Thankfully, the recent email to me from Primephonic promises "A refund will be issued for the remaining days in your paid subscription."
