Apple Music Scraps Personalized Artwork for Personal Radio Stations

[Suckfest 9001]

Same for the ugly cogwheels in playlists, which are sometimes - miraculously - replaced by one of your cover arts.

Off Topic - just about your spoiler. It is not about size, that matters. Just use it as reference without the need to mention every time, that you know, what you are talking about and others do not think you do not know, what you are talking about, beacuse you do not mention, you own, what you are talking about. ;-)

I’m on mobile so I don’t see it anyway

You really don’t know the names of any songs you enjoy? That’s interesting as I’m just the opposite. I search by the name of the song, or the artist, or, in some cases, the lyrics!

I can't even remember my own name sometimes. I can rarely think of a name when I "need" to. I'm much better at coming up with wrong song/band names. I guess I'm more of a visual or audio learner, or I'll just be thumbing through and see a cover and think, "wow, I haven't heard that for a while", and maybe remember the name of what I triggered on.

Yep, you probably have other things to do besides staring at the artwork for the whole time the song is playing. Me too. But, I guess there are others that have the time.

I noticed this today on my phone and I am not happy. I thought there was something wrong with the loading of artwork. I think it looks stupid the way it is now it was better before.

Apple Music always suggests entire genres that I don’t want to hear. But I would be happy if I could just get it to stop playing Springsteen...

Apple seems to always constantly update artwork in general anyway... Once you get fixated on something, they change it again.

I guess it keeps users on their toes. (...in a confused kind of way).. Is te suggestion updated purley Apple or copyright holders ? Its hard to know now who is pulling the strings as both seeem bent on mayhem.

Apple Music appears to have removed the personalized artwork for Apple Music's personal radio stations feature, replacing users' artwork with a uniform graphic.

Personal artworks for user created playlists? Damn I love that.

Why?

 

[Nordichund]

Anybody from Apple reading this who is involved in this in any way. Why are you making people angry and taking away the control? Bottom line is, if people are uncomfortable using your services they won't use them. It should be about taking back control.

Apple Music is awful. Worst algorithm for music discovery out of all of the leaders.

*Plays a remixed version of a country song on a progressive house playlist*
Apple Music: Back to back suggestions of country music.

Me: Creates radio station based on metal song or artist.

Apple Music: Here’s some country music for you.

Me: Do not like.

Apple Music: Here’s the same country song again.

I don’t know why but personal radio keeps suggesting music I don’t like... even though I’ve given sufficient information to Apple about my preferences (through “love” button I think)

Seems to me to be defaulting to whatever is currently on the charts for the young hip urban crowd. After a few tracks, it ends up exactly what I *don't* want to hear.

Same for me.

+1. It has seem also to be getting worse over time instead of better. It seems to show seemingly similar looking artists (in the title’s name, album cover vibe, etc) but most of the songs are definitely not something what I would like. Example, I like a lot of retro synth and make sure to hammer click that like button... yet it will give me sometimes hip-hop/rap songs which I have never ever liked or skip playback right away but the album covers are quite close to neon purple looking typical retro synth artists.

However, even with this miss, there’s always one or two songs that are spot on, especially on Fridays new music mix list updates making it all quite worthwhile.
