...with Siri? I ask Siri to play 'My Station' and it responds with something like "OK, here's a station just for you". I've been doing this for months on my iPhone and was pleased by Apple Music's selection of a mix of my favorites (mostly older pop, by star selection) and other music Apple Music 'thought' I might like. All of a sudden about two weeks ago it starts pushing classical music selections for about a third of the selections. Does anybody have an idea of what could be going on?

Maybe try asking Siri: "Play some random music". I usually do that, and my station starts playing with a mix of my favourite songs.

Follow up. I have a couple dozen classical albums in my library that I rarely listen to, finding them too moody in my old age. In my attempts to trouble-shoot this issue, I removed any ratings for these albums in my library but this had no effect on the issue. Then I happened to open an album and noticed that I had rated some individual selections. I went through the whole bunch of them and removed any ratings and now 'My Station' is back to normal. Apple Music must have changed its algorithm a month or so ago to factor in those previous ratings.

Just an FYI.
