I use it every day. It pretty much does those things. The little Heart button is your "remember the current song". The really confusing/annoying thing for me is there's no history AFAIK. So no looking up the previous song if you didn't get to hit the heart button because you were driving. Even finding a previous streaming/radio playlist is impossible sometimes. Click away from it, and now how do you get back? On the iPad: You don't AFAICT. Best you can do is bring up the Up Next list if you don't remember the search/navigation that found the playlist in the first place.

You know, that's the problem with programs that have millions of features. You can do lots of things with them, shame their users would never know it.

There's a history screen. Tap on the player (if it's minimized to the bottom) To the right of the Fast Forward icon, there's a list icon, that opens the history.

  That's actually the "Up Next" list I was referring to. Not History.

    Scrolling up on that screen reveals history. http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/194867 http://apple.stackexchange.com/a/194867

"Heart" actually doesn't function as "remember" as there's no way to see songs in Apple Music (not in your library) that you've previously "loved"[1]. It's supposedly used to help refine recommendations[2].

  I could be wrong, but I'm not sure how else they'd be showing up in my library under "Recently Added" then. I didn't specifically create any new playlists or anything and it's just the songs I "hearted". I assumed it was just a "genius" thing at first as well, but there they are. Maybe it's new.

    I had thought the "plus" button actually did the adding instead of "heart" which was more algorithm food. But I haven't dug around enough maybe?
