Apple Music has rolled out a couple of new stations to help you discover new songs to add to your playlists. It’s aptly named “Discovery Station” and will play a curated list of music based on what you’ve been listening to lately. These will mostly be songs that you have not added to your library yet. So it’ll be helpful to find new music.
Apple Music has also changed the album art for your own station. It’s now in red, pink and orange, and has a similar look to the album art on the Discovery Station which is in green, blue and a sort of purple color.
The Discovery Station has rolled out, and it appears to be a server-side change, as there has not been an update to iOS to bring this feature, nor an update in the Play Store for the Android version. So everyone should have it on Apple Music now.
It does a decent job with Discovery
For a long time now, a big issue with Apple Music had been that it pretty much sucked with discovery. It would surface different radio stations and playlists. But trying to discover individual songs based on what you are already listening to, it didn’t do that well at all. However, this new Discovery Station does a pretty decent job, so far.
Will this help Apple Music catch up to Spotify? Probably not. But it is a step in the right direction. Spotify has two main features that makes it better than Apple Music – that’s Discovery and Spotify Connect. Discovery is something Apple can work on, and is working on. Though Spotify Connect, that might take longer to do. Spotify Connect basically allows you to play music on literally anything, from any other platform. And control it all from the Spotify app. Including Sonos and PlayStation 5.
The new Discovery Station should be available in your Apple Music app now.
