Apple Music Classical users will now find it easier to listen to their choice of music while driving, with it now being added to CarPlay.

Classical music listeners can use both Apple Music and Apple Music Classical to discover and listen to compositions. However, only Apple Music has been enabled in CarPlay, so users have been forced to use the main app to access classical music behind the wheel.

In a Tuesday update, Apple has made Apple Music Classical available to use in CarPlay. The integration means users can access their library, playlists, and other recommendations from the Apple Music Classical app itself in the CarPlay interface.

It's also possible to ask Siri to search in CarPlay for composers, artists, works, and instruments within Apple Music Classical, across a variety of languages.

The update follows other changes to Apple Music Classical in recent months. This includes the addition of a Recently Added section, thousands of album booklets, and a weekly Top 100 chart.

Apple Music Classical is free to subscribers of Apple Music.
