With all due respect, it sounds like they're marketing elevator music. No thanks.

These are very welcome I guess. Apple needs to keep working on the algorithm, all of my now favorite bands were discovered on Spotify a couple years ago. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to discover any relevant music on AM.

How about fixing so it plays actual relevant songs after my playlists end first? I keep testing Apple Music about once a year and then cancelling because they are still a long way behind Spotify when it comes to recommendations.
I find that sometimes it’s hit or miss for both services but when they get in the groove, they’ll suggest perfect music for me. Apple Music took longer to learn my style and required me to favorite whatever I liked, and now I like everything it suggests for me. Spotify was great for a while but my tastes changed and it’s not wanting to adapt and is instead suggesting things way outside my tastes.

Algorithms are decidedly finicky things, I swear.

I tried the relax one and it did relax me a little.

It's better than the relax playlist because it goes on forever instead of just updating once a week.

I do hope Apple will add useful AI features for personalized playlists, among other things.

For example: "Siri, play relaxing songs with lyrics in English and Japanese with no heavy bass."

And Siri will know what I personally mean by relaxing and also avoid artists that I don't like.

Agree.

I've used AM for close to two years and simply cannot get used to how little new music I discover when using it.

Would have been perfect as the integration with my Apple devices is phenomenal. But the suggestions just don't cut it.

I've now switched to YT Music -UI is kinda odd and not much better than AM. But the suggestions are a million times better.

And with YT Music, I also get to listen to all the cool "home-brewed", remixed and bootlegged stuff that you don't find anywhere else as it's not official releases.
