Apple Music launches a Discovery Station to help you find new songs
www.theverge.com
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.

    Ok good, but I still lack some kind of “incognito” listening mode. Spotify doesn’t have this either.

    I listen to music I like and then I have other music on for “cover” och concentration, like bland non engaging things in the background to cover up other intrusive noise, like family or co-workers.

    Having these to fairly opposite genres mixed together isn’t a great experience when it comes to history or discovery functions.

    Being able to easily exclude music/playlists would be great from these types of features.

    And having another account isn’t an option since we are maxed out of subscriptions.

      There is an option in Settings to use the music history played on this device (whether phone, iPad, or AppleTV) which sounds like the kind of toggle you are looking for. The setting is on by default but you can turn it off temporarily when playing something you don’t want influencing your algorithm.
