Create your own mix by combining your Apple Music playlists. Mix chart hits with your favourite tracks, bring your own playlists together with curated collections, or blend different genres and moods into one shuffled mix. Choose the playlists you want to hear, and Plio brings their music together. Then narrow your mix with filters. Focus on unplayed tracks, music released within the past year, or both. Explore new music or rediscover songs waiting in your library. An active Apple Music subscription and permission to access your music library are required.
