Why Apple Music is So Bad When the iPhone is so Good

There could be some genre specificity at play here. I like certain stuff that's influenced by Deep House, but find a lot of things that are "cool" in House music to be highly annoying. I'm a fan of British Isles traditional music, but find I already know most of the good stuff. I like certain contemporary French songwriters, but find most of them kinda samey.

The Spotify equivalent of "For You" is where I'm having the most luck. Maybe I'll give Apple another go.

Are you talking of DW or the more generic similar artists/discover tab then? Because the former is far better than the latter.

Funnily enough, it has recommended a lot of British Isles trad/folk to me, (and also Québécois, for some reason) most of which is OK but some of which is really interesting. It's found several long medieval ballads, which I would have thought was far too niche to recommend.

DW is most fruitful. If you are into British Isles trad/folk, there's a lot of wonderful Québécois stuff. Those guys often have better Irish trad chops than local Irish trad prodigies. Then on top of that, add in all the odd Acadian/french influence. I got to play with some of those guys in Christmas Revels.
