Apple Music's recommendation and discovery is pretty abysmal. I guess this will fix that issue. I'm amazed at how bad it given they know the standard that has been set by their competitor Spotify.
When Apple acquired Beast we heard about how Jimmy Iovine and Dre were going to bring their understanding and expertise to Apple's music service. This now seems to have been a lot of bluster though. Apple had such a head start with iTunes, missed the boat with streaming, spent a fortune on Beats and finally seemed to be getting serious about their streaming music offering. And the product has been somewhere between underwhelming and "just OK."
It's interesting to see that Apple's solution is to just buy their way out of their discovery problem. For a company with unlimited resources and great design skills it's strange that Apple is not really good at building services.
