How to create a station on Apple Music like Pandora

I've been using Pandora for years and the creation of a personal station, as well as launching and tuning that station, is simple and intuitive.

I'm still trying to find how it works on Apple Music, which as far as I'm concerned is a total fail for a company that once had a team (The Blue Meanies) who were completely focused on UI consistency and usability.

Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

I'd like to be able to quit paying for Pandora and use Apple Music exclusively, but if Apple continues to fail on the UI I can't see that happening. I may have to abandon AM entirely...

Thanks for any pointers.

Hi Colleen,

Thank you for taking time to respond to my question.

I was actually already aware of the information you provided, but I sincerely appreciate you taking time to post and provide some pointers.

As far as I'm concerned, the 'station' feature as currently implemented is a sub-optimal solution that is non-intuitive. Apple can and should do better. It shouldn't be that hard to implement a 'My Stations' feature where you can readily find the stations you've created.

If, by chance, you have any connects to the Apple Music product team they should probably hear the feedback, particularly since I know I'm not the only Pandora user that finds 'Stations' in Apple Music poorly implemented.

Thank you again for replying to help!
