![]() I had tried switching from Spotify to Apple Music about a year ago, but gave up because I expected my “For You” playlists to behave just the same as Spotify’s “Discover Weekly.” They didn’t, and I found this annoying. Worth noting: for every post where someone says they’re getting crummy recommendations on Apple Music there’s another saying they get crummy recommendations on Spotify. The Internet is littered with forum posts and questions from people wondering how and why Apple Music’s recommendations aren’t as good as Spotify’s, and what to do about it. If you don’t like paying for duplicate services and ended up on Apple One, complete with Apple Music, but can’t get Spotify to work as well for you, I hear you loud and clear. Now, on to the original post from October 2022… Even if those playlists are your creation, like them! Liking entire playlists, even if they’re of your own creation, is the fastest and most aggressive way to get Apple Music to understand your tastes. Liking or disliking individual songs doesn’t hold as much weight as in Spotify.

The “Discovery Station” combined with the pre-existing “My Station” and “New Music Mix” playlists put Apple Music at feature parity with Spotify. Reddit rumors suggest that the “My Station” has improved algorithms, too, but mine seems to behave roughly the same. It’s like a bottomless, on-demand “Discover Weekly.” This channel plays music you’ve not heard much or at all before that matches your taste. ![]() I’ve been testing it out and my initial reaction is it’s very good. Update, August 2023: Apple released a new “Discovery Station” this week. ![]()
