If others agree with the author’s opinion, it makes the case for curation like Apple Music launches with and has been touting as a differentiator.

The best music curation I experienced was a service called Songza, which was acquired by and absorbed into google music. I still have a subscription to google play music, even though the songza playlists had gotten hard enough to find at one point that I stopped trying.

This article & discussion was enough for me to stop working briefly and go research whatever happened, and apparently Peter Asbill is still at Google and I should try again.

Update: holy shit, yeah.

Any recommended playlists? I'd like to check some out, but Google music doesn't specifically tag the Songza playlists

Try random play. It'll spin up a thematic playlist.

I loved Songza as well. It was a sad day when Google bought them out.

Google Play music has very listenable curation now. So worth it.
