Hello,

I'm trying to figure out a way of creating a personalized radio station that would play pop music similar to what I have in my library, as well as similar to what I've recently listened to and/or told Siri that I liked.

If I tell Siri 'play the music I like', it does precisely what I said above. Namely, it plays music which is very similar in style to what I like, often by the same artists that I already have in my library. Great. However, I also happen to have classical music in my library. So it ends up playing a mixture of pop and classical. And I don't want that. I want pop music only.

If I tell Siri 'play some pop music', it does indeed play pop music exclusively. But then it doesn't tailor it to my taste. Instead, it just plays random songs, most of which have nothing in common with what's in my library or what I've ever listened to.

Is there a way to get the combined effect of those two commands?
I tried 'play the pop music I like' and other variations of that, but it didn't work at all. It would play some song I've never heard of, which just happens to have "I like" in its title.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

I'm new to Apple Music and also have a question about creating radio stations. Once you create a station based on a song that you like (or happened to pick at random to learn how stations work), it names the station from the song selected. Is there a way to then rename the personal station just created? If not, is there a way to delete it?

There radio stations are the worst. Really I want to hear songs related to Donna Summer but they have to slip crap like Ed Sherdon and Meghan Tranor in the mix. I want songs just from the 70's and 80's. Other services get it right.
