Google Play Music has offered New Release Radio exclusively on the Galaxy S8 as an “early access feature” since June. The station will work similarly to Spotify’s Release Radar, by offering you a personalized stream of music based on your tastes.

That’s changing this week, though, as Google announced that it’s opening up New Release Radio to all Google Play Music users. According to Google, New Release Radio uses your listening preferences to select tracks from recent singles and album releases from the last two weeks, curating a constantly updated station of new music for you.
New Release Radio is available to all Google Play Music users, too. So, whether you’re a free radio listener or a paying subscriber, you’ll be able to take advantage of the new feature. The station will update itself daily, so you’ll always have something new to listen to. (Release Rader on Spotify only updates once a week.)
New Release Radio should be rolling out now to all users in the Google Play Music app.
