It takes Apple forever to add obvious features like this but I’m glad they have. I’ll use it a lot.

Did people forget about Pandora? That’s basically what Pandora was, at least back in my day. back creaks

Ok good, but I still lack some kind of "incognito" listening mode. Spotify doesn't have this either.

I listen to music I like and then I have other music on for "cover" och concentration, like bland non engaging things in the background to cover up other intrusive noise, like family or co-workers.

Having these to fairly opposite genres mixed together isn't a great experience when it comes to history or discovery functions.

Being able to easily exclude music/playlists would be great from these types of features.

And having another account isn't an option since we are maxed out of subscriptions.

I miss human DJ's.

To be more specific, I miss the left-of-the-dial 11pm variety.

And Shoutcast-style radio with live DJ's. I still spin up a stream every now and then, but it's not the same as it used to be.

I used it today for 8 hours and damm, I must say that it is quite good. Definitely better than the "keep playing song when playlist ends" or the curated weekly lists. I had to skip songs only few times and I didn't mark ANY as "dislike", where I often that to do so few times in a row on the other options.

Perhaps a change in how I use Apple Music made this better, cause I learned from some comment here or on Reddit, that the algorithm acts better if songs are marked as love/dislike to tell it the taste, not like in Spotify where it just goes along the lists or what I listened to in the past.

I thought this is what my weekly New Music Mix playlist was meant to do.

About time!

It would be great if they would give some love to the apple music preview app for windows 11. It is a source of constant frustration for me, with regular crashes, wild volume changes and overall sluggishness. Sadly it's only slightly better on macOS

I really want to like Apple Music more but I don't know why they don't allow you to follow radio shows like: https://music.apple.com/au/curator/beats-in-space-with-tim-sweeney/1573950910 and be notified of latest mixes? Unless I'm just missing something and the feature is already there?

It's a bit late, but hey I will take it still. I tend to have pretty bad luck with discovery apps as I have narrow musical tastes, but I will give it a shot for a while.

I have had the most luck with the custom Apple Music stations honestly, seems to have the best balance of songs I know and like with newer stuff in the same vein. I am not sure I would spend as much time on a playlist entirely composed of new things.

Sick, hope it works well

I tried it today and liked it so far, only one skip. For the most part it was "adjacent" to things I've listened to, and brought in a couple of new offerings. I have been really into the "My Station" stuff since it basically plays me an array of the things I already love, but the "Discovery" mode is interesting and I'll probably use it here and there to add likes to the algorithm for better suggestions.

The problem I have is that I have my Apple Music family account hooked up to my Alexa’s and Sonos so the kids can listen to whatever they want and I can play music through the Sonos using Alexa when I’m cooking and can’t use my hands.

Unfortunately this means that my favourites mix and any recommendations are tainted with the godawful noise my kids call music 😂

There really needs to be a way to link an Alexa or other device to a specific Apple Music family member.

Apple surely can see the complete catalog of The Who that I have in my library, including the vinyl albums that I've ripped. Not that the Music app could see it, but Apple could also see the eye-watering amounts of money we've spent on tickets to watch 75 year old men prance around on stage (via the tickets from the last three tours in Wallet).

So what's the first song played on this new Discovery station? "Who Are You?" by...wait for it...The Who. Whether you're a Who fan or not, is there anyone walking this planet over the age of 21 that hasn't heard that song?

wait, this wasn't a thing already? I dont use apple products so Im not familiar. YT Music has had a discovery playlist for years at this point.

Most of the indie artists I listen to and YouTubers publishing covers are available in Spotify but not in Apple Music. Moreover, I need to log in to apple account in macOS (system wide account) instead of just music app (app account). This is a no-go for me

Right after a Spotify price increase, I just might give Apple Music another shot today!
