Apple Music, one of the most popular audio streaming platforms for iOS users, has added a new personal radio station called 'Discovery Station,' which is designed to play music that the listener hasn't heard but might like. With this move, the tech titan appears to be improving the overall user experience and attempting to reach Spotify's algorithms.

The Discovery Station might help close this gap, but according to the reports, Apple Music still lags behind Spotify's algorithmic recommendations. Without any sort of popup or official announcement, the new Discovery Station became available to users on Monday. The new option is accessible to users under the "Listen Now" tab in the "Stations for You" category.

The Discovery Station appears to be an application produced by an algorithm with the goal of playing music that the listener hasn't heard but might enjoy. With continuous playback, it functions similarly to the New Music Mix playlist. Apple Music lacked an algorithm-based continuous listening experience for music discovery. When operating stations based on genre, artists, or songs, the user's preferences were not taken into consideration.

The report stated that "Apple may not formally announce this new station but may instead mention it in update notes in a subsequent iOS release." In 2015, the iPhone manufacturer debuted Apple Music. The company claims that Apple Music is a single, user-friendly app that brings together the best ways to enjoy music in one location.

Back in 2021, the company added Spatial Audio along with Dolby Atmos. It also seems that the company is planning to integrate artificial intelligence as it is currently hiring employees in the field of AI all over the world.
