“The new station will play a curated selection of songs based on what you’ve been listening to but haven’t heard before.”
Looks interesting. To me, Apple’s curated playlists have always been superior in quality to Spotify’s but they really don’t have as vas of a selection of curated playlists. Apple Music stations are often excellent, too, if you know how to crate them.
It takes Apple forever to add obvious features like this but I’m glad they have. I’ll use it a lot.
Call me an Apple sheep, but they usually get it right when they finally get around to something.
Their are exceptions and I think Apple Music is one of them. They’ve been playing catch up with Spotify. I only have Apple Music because it’s with the bundle of everything else.
Not this time. I have found about 3 new (to me) country songs I like and my discovery playlist is full of nothing but twangy country , which isn’t even the genre of the new songs I do like.
Did people forget about Pandora? That’s basically what Pandora was, at least back in my day. back creaks
yea, for those not paying attention … the “enshitification” has been a slow development for a while now. There was a moment back circa 2010, before google stopped being “not evil” and when the iphone/smartphone was still new and web pages were capable of doing anything and problems could be solved with apps etc etc … that tech just seemed “good” and to be doing “good”, and there were reasons to think so. But good things have been falling away slowly for years and big things turning shit too.
Has enshitification already reached “gaslighting” status where people just use it when it’s not appropriate?
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.

This is great, thank you.
