Personal suggestions
Discover artists and tracks picked especially for you
tell Aple Music which songs you love or dislike to influence suggestions
The “For You” feature provides personalized recommendations of music it thinks you’ll like, based on your listening habits and feedback. Click it near the top of iTunes, or tap it at the bottom of iOS’s Music app. You’ll see two special mixes: one of new music it thinks you might like, which updates on Fridays, and another of tracks you’ve indicated you love, which refreshes on Wednesdays. These are a quick way to play songs that fit your overall tastes.
If you have time to put in a bit more effort, lower down the page you can explore categorized suggestions. Note that the selection of albums, updated daily, identifies the basis of their suggestion, helping you weed out any that don’t fit your mood. Some rows say “See All” at their end; click those words on the New Releases row and you’ll be able to browse further back by release date.
On your Mac, note the subsections next to the For You heading at the top of the page. Click Connect there to read posts from artists and curators; those you identified when signing up to Apple Music, and artists whose music you’ve bought from the iTunes Store. On iOS, these posts are found below For You’s other content. To manage who you’re following, choose Account > Following (Mac), or tap Following alongside the Connect Posts headline (iOS). To follow someone specific, enter their name in the search bar/page, click or tap them in the results, then click or tap the ellipsis that’s displayed near their name and choose Follow.
