“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.

I miss human DJ's.

To be more specific, I miss the left-of-the-dial 11pm variety.

And Shoutcast-style radio with live DJ's. I still spin up a stream every now and then, but it's not the same as it used to be.

Apple music has a sort of halfway point in the form of Radio. Pre-recorded hour or two of actual radio

This is great, thank you.

I’ve found Soundcloud to be a great alternative for this. Loads and loads of 1-2 hour mixes, and great exposure to a whole range of new music. Only issue is that some of (what I enjoy anyway), seems to have very limited releases and isn’t necessarily available on Apple Music/etc.

Twitch is pretty great for that.
