Really good classical music--great for transcontinental flights

This is a strange way of packaging music--it is an application, and the classical recordings are of very high quality. Classical means just that--Bach is about the earliest composer and there is only a sprinkling of Mahler or Stravinsky. Often times the recordings are from the 50s-60s, which sound pretty good through the earphones. As others have mentioned, these are not new CD recordings, and the recorded volume is rather low, requiring playing them back at the highest volume level. For sure, dont bother with the iPhone speakers.

The choice of the music is interesting--it is rather complete, with emphasis on piano and voice works from the masters. There are a few duplications (different artists/performances). The collection is a rather even handed sprinking of sonatas, concerti, symphonies, and vocal works. Each composition is complete, but not all similar works for a given composer are included.

For $0.99, You could never otherwise accumulate such an excellent collection. It is disappointing that some of your favorites will not be included, and there is no way to add or delete pieces. But that also means that the whole set will stay intact and not be lost via some missed keystroke in iTunes. Very highly recommended. Lets have more of these, perhaps complete sets for given composers.
