How to Create Your Own Radio Station in Apple Music

Apple Music gives a never-ending experience to its users in two forms: Semi-automated pre-generated music stations and the second one is creating your own music according to your choice and genres. It is called Custom Animations. The pre-generated music stations are customized by various genres like electronic, alternative, news, and sports. But the only radio set up that supports live DJ is the Beat 1. It uses the blend of pre- automated music station and the custom one.
