Want to Switch to Apple Music from Pandora

I pay $35/mo. on my sister's Verizon plan (she is an employee) for unlimited data with 22GB priority and free Apple Music. I want to switch over from Pandora Premium ($10/mo.) but have the following issue:

Apple Music plays a few songs on a radio station and just keeps looping those same songs. Sometimes it will play some different songs. Pandora will usually keep playing fresh music. This issue makes me super annoyed and is the only reason I won't switch over. I want to create a radio station and have it keep playing different songs. Is this normal? Can it be fixed?

What could be happening is that that particular station only has x amount of songs on it and once it gets to the end it repeats. I know Spotify does the same thing sometimes.

Feedback for Apple goes here >>> hhttp://www.apple.com/feedback/

Nobody here is in charge of Apple Music programming.

This is a volunteer run technical support community, not Apple Support.

I've known for years that this is not Apple support.

Can it be fixed?

And yet you write as if it is. How would anyone here know if it can be "fixed"?

Until that happens, I may have to stick with Pandora.

Ok. If it suits your needs better. None of us are affected by your choice or threat.

Yea, no ****, Sherlock....

Thanks for keeping your contribution in line with the terms of the community. Well done.

Hello, thank you for your reply.

I don't think that provides any information that is helpful.

What I normally do is activate Siri in my car and ask her to play a custom radio station.

Like "play 2000s pop" or "play music like Selena Gomez".

I want to do it that way and have Apple Music play non-repetitive music.

I just recently listened to 2000s pop. It had like less than 10 songs on the station. That's horrible. There's an enormous amount of songs it could play. And if I played it now it'd probably play different songs but after a short amount of songs played, it will go back to the beginning (loop). Makes me crazy.

Yea, I am fully aware!!! I've known for years that this is not Apple support. And I am aware of the feedback site.

I was curious to know if this is some sort of bug or if I can do something to fix it or if it is just the way the program works.

Obviously it must be the way it works, which is a load of crap. They need to fix this. Until that happens, I may have to stick with Pandora.

Yes indeed. Is there something in particular that I should be reading?
