Classical music is what got my 16 year old daughter hooked on Apple Music. Pop songs she got on You Tube, but once she realized that Apple Music gave her a large library of classical performances, she was hooked. (She's an aspiring musician and listens to recordings of pieces she intends to perform.)

Thats great that your daughter is into classical music. My daughter played an instrument for a few years in her orchestra at school but lost interest. She had an ear for it too. I wish she would have stuck with it even if she would have liked to play a different instrument just to be able to read music if nothing else.

Can someone explain how/where to use this feature in iOS Apple Music?

I've looked at the same screen of Apple Music's Classical section on two phones: one running iOS 9.1, the other iOS 9.2. The only difference I could see was new annotations under some tracks (artist, etc.). Is that all this is -- the new annotations -- or is there an actual way to BROWSE by these new fields that I'm missing?

Thanks.

New iTunes update has insane flickering screen issue. It flickers so badly I have to keep it minimized. I seriously think it could give you a seizure. I already uninstalled iTunes once and re-downloaded and installed iTunes but the same issue persists. Is anyone else having this problem?
