The new station uses an algorithm to suggest music.
“The new station will play a curated selection of songs based on what you’ve been listening to but haven’t heard before.”
Looks interesting. To me, Apple’s curated playlists have always been superior in quality to Spotify’s but they really don’t have as vas of a selection of curated playlists. Apple Music stations are often excellent, too, if you know how to crate them.
Apple surely can see the complete catalog of The Who that I have in my library, including the vinyl albums that I've ripped. Not that the Music app could see it, but Apple could also see the eye-watering amounts of money we've spent on tickets to watch 75 year old men prance around on stage (via the tickets from the last three tours in Wallet).
So what's the first song played on this new Discovery station? "Who Are You?" by...wait for it...The Who. Whether you're a Who fan or not, is there anyone walking this planet over the age of 21 that hasn't heard that song?
