I used to have the same issue, and still do to a certain degree. But after listening to the auto play for a while now and loving or disliking songs, the auto play has seemed to have gotten better. From what I read Apple’s algorithm is just super slow to learn you.
I gave up on Apple Music after 3 years and moved back to Spotify a month ago.
Apple Music pros:
Apple Music cons:
It’s really dumb that it took them this long, especially since it’s been on the Android and macOS versions for SO long, but Apple actually has added crossfade to Apple Music in iOS 17 (which is in beta).
I’m not 100% sure what you’re referring to but Apple Music definitely has a variety of radios you can access. If you Haptic Touch on a song you can tap the “create station” button and get similar songs to it. There’s also a personal station which plays music it thinks you would like in a mix of music you listen to. In addition to this, there’s an autoplay button which will play similar music to whatever you’re listening to (in the queue), such as music from a playlist. If you’re referring to a create station button on playlists, that would be nice for sure. I guess the only work around for that would be playing a playlist, turning on autoplay, and skipping the playlist which isn’t exactly a graceful solution.
But each to their own! Spotify has its perks
They actually introduced Crossfade in IOS 17, still amazed it took this long and the feature already being available on android. I’ve learned that I really have to train the algorithm by using the love and suggest less buttons. Apple knows how to build a good product but struggles to keep up.
