Apple has introduced a new "Discovery Station" tab for Apple Music subscribers to help subscribers find music they might like.

The Discovery Station is a personalised radio station that plays a continuous stream of songs based on the user's listening history and preferences.

It is similar to Spotify's "Discover Weekly" playlist, but it keeps adding new songs from time to time.

Users can see the new option under the "Listen Now" tab in the category "Stations for You" on the Apple Music app.
