That’s IDAGIO,” says communications director Birgit Gehring. The $10-a-month service—the brainchild of music-­industry veteran Till ­Janczukowicz—offers more than 2 million classical tracks, which can be sorted by composer, conductor and soloist. There’s also a free version with ads, and play­lists for new listeners who are just getting acquainted with the genre. _—Emily Price_ IDAGIO: The 100 Best Inventions of 2019 ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2019/5733078/idagio/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2019/5733078/idagio/"},"headline":"Instant Classic","datePublished":"2019-11-21T01:43:25.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-02T23:36:45.123Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2019/5733078/idagio/","keywords":["Best Inventions 2019"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6e4c949e0242a1f1/698a063db21a9c3f77502b41/best-inventions-2019-050-idagio.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6e4c949e0242a1f1/698a063db21a9c3f77502b41/best-inventions-2019-050-idagio.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2019/5733078/idagio/","name":"Instant Classic"}}]}] ```
