Apple has quietly launched a new feature for its streaming music service that could help you expand your playlists and find new artists to listen to. It's a personalized radio station called "Discovery Station," which selects songs it thinks you'll like from the Apple Music catalog. As Apple Insider notes, the tech giant's music service hasn't gone as far as algorithmic recommendations like Spotify, which has several playlists that can create mixes based on your listening habits.

An Apple spokesperson told us that Discovery Station will only play music you haven’t played before on the service, both from well-known artists and unknowns that it thinks you might like. And since its main purpose is to help you discover new music, it will never play the same song twice and will play continuously until you stop it. Like other playlists that use algorithms to recommend tracks, Discovery Station also bases its recommendations on your activity and will constantly change as your taste evolves.
Suggestion: Apple Music Classical: Now available on Android
The feature is now available worldwide. If you're already a subscriber, you can access it by going to your Listen Now page and checking the Stations for You section. If you don't have a subscription, it'll cost you at least $5 per month in the US for an audio-only plan, or at least $11 per month if you want access to Apple Music's video plan and other features, like lossless audio and Dolby Atmos.
