Apple has silently updated its Beats 1 radio station in Apple Music to allow the users to replay shows whenever they like through Beats 1 Replays.
Since its launch, the only way to follow a show on Beats 1 Radio was to catch it live or hear its re-run after 12 hours. However, now, the Apple Music app will display a “Beats 1: Replay” option under the Connect tab of that particular artist or DJ whose show you want to hear. This basically allows users to playback the show whenever you want to and at any time they like. Since the option is buried deep inside the Apple Music app though, many Apple Music owners are likely going to be completely oblivious of its existence.
Additionally, the Beats 1: Replay feature will not display the information of the song currently being played and users will also lose out on the ability to love or like a song.
While confusing and hidden, the Replay feature is a nice addition from Apple to its music streaming service, which waslaunched back in late April. It is likely that Apple will further improve this feature over time to display the relevant metadata information and allow users to like a song that they come across while listening to a show.
Do you think the Beats 1: Replay feature is a nice addition to Apple Music?
