    What exactly is the difference in respect to other streaming services such as Tidal, Apple Music, Deezer etc?

  • Lukas from IDAGIO says:

    Hello Jakob,
    Thanks for your interest. We provide a digital platform structured specifically for classical music. For example, you can browse by composer, period, and instrument, or by work and compare all available recordings on one page. Furthermore, we aim to provide a much more curated catalogue, with a wide selection of thoughtful and creative thematic playlists. Additionally, every track is available in high-quality lossless audio – even without an internet connection, thanks to our offline mode.
    If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us through our website.
    Best wishes
    Lukas from IDAGIO

    Idagio is evidently not available in the US, alas.

    Hi Marc,
    Indeed, IDAGIO is not available in the U.S., Canada, China and Japan due to licensing restrictions at the moment. However, as our mission is to build the best streaming service for classical music, we are working on bringing IDAGIO to these territories.

    If you would like to be notified when IDAGIO is ready to launch in the U.S., please contact us through our website.

    Best wishes
    Lukas from IDAGIO
