It create playlists for you based on the time of day/day of week taking into consideration what you usually listen to. Such as going to the gym, chilling at home etc. That's the theory anyway.
Yes
1) Play Music is the best at predicting what you want to listen to when.
When you load the app, you’ll see a selection of moments it thinks are relevant based on your habits, with each of those moments opening up to a selection of music based on your tastes.

Google got a hold of this system when it bought context-focused music app Songza in 2014 and has been developing it ever since.

“We’ve had a long time to get good at what it takes to be good at that,” Play Music project manager and Songza founder Elias Roman said. He added about working at Google: “It’s a really complete and exciting and brilliant team. [We’ve] been very, very happy working with them.”

No other app comes close at contextually personalized recommendations.

Although Spotify is planning to do a lot more here, it has “just started investing a lot of effort in trying to understand user behaviors at different times and different contexts they’re in,” lead software engineer Edward Newett said. For now, Spotify’s main tab, called Browse, shows the same selection of playlists to everyone, with only minor adjustments for time of day.

Apple Music and others are even further behind.

Got it working. Go to settings, then refresh.

The list should appear in the Listen now tab.

Nobody checks this s h t before it gets published. Its a short article im sure it would take only 5 mins to check for errors.

Unless if Zuma joined the MyBB jurnos :D
 
Wait do i have to subscribe? Cuz I'm not paying for that.
 
I pay 50 bucks a month for it, totally worth it.
Sure but deezer pandora Spotify etc are free for their random mixes
Free is cheaper, paying becomes "uncomfortable" when free is on offer

I didn't mean for the random mixes, pardon, I was referring to the service as a whole. I think, given a choice, I'd probably prefer Spotify, but it's not available in SA, and bypassing those restrictions I find a real hassle sometimes. I've also tried Deezer, ultimately Google Music as a general source of music has been pretty damn good.
