Spotify’s “Discover” feature uses a custom algorithm to diagnose user taste and recommend new songs based on likes and behavior. It’s “Discover Weekly,” playlist, which is unique to every user and offers 30 new songs each week, has been highly successful. Now, Apple Music will be offering a similar product with it’s new “Discovery Station.”
It appears that Apple has quietly launched “Discovery Station,” a radio station available on Apple Music that allows users to discover new music based on their taste and algorithm. Apple hasn’t officially announced the product yet, but eagle-eyed users have noticed it up and running on Apple Music’s mobile, desktop, and web apps.
MacDailyNews Take: To try it out, launch Apple Music and go to Listen Now > Stations for You > Discovery Station.

What a great way to find more black, degenerate, demoralizing garbage.
Only if you listen to a lot of “black, degenerate, demoralizing garbage,” genius.
I didn’t read the article but my point still stands. Apple pushes degenerate filth in the Browse section and in their ads.
Mine started off with Steely Dan’s “FM”, then Mac Davis “One Hell of a Woman”. Jethro Tull “Hymn 43”, Poco “You Better Think Twice”, B,S,& T, Three Dog Night, The Who, Pearl Jam, Paul Davis, Ambrosia, C,S,N&Y, Jefferson Starship, The Outlaws (really?…OK), Mad Season (!!!), Little Feat, Soundgarten, Audioslave, Silverchair, White Stripes, Neil Diamond (but a sucky late 70s ballad, not the cool 60s shit), then FINALLY Miles Davis, Larry Gatlin, Barry Manilow, the Great Glen Campbell.
OK, pretty eclectic. Fun yet not my choices in the actual songs but that’s fine. It’ll learn.
What a great way of finding out who pays the most to promote their music because you can guarantee this ‘discovery’ service will be slanted that way.
