Apple calls this feature "Music pins," and it'll let you pin playlists, albums, and artists at the top of your Library tab.

‌Apple Music‌ is also gaining lyrics translation and lyrics pronunciation, so that it's easier to listen to and appreciate music from all over the world.

There's also a new "AutoMix" feature that uses intelligence to transition from one song to the next like a DJ.

Lyrics translation is a nice addition. Will definitely use it for sure in the future once I update my devices.

Haven't watched the keynote but I'm assuming ios still doesn't have smart playlist functionality? I'm still baffled why this hasn't been added. Not to mention BPM would be nice in apple music as well to make exercise playlists.
