Apple Music has done a pretty decent job of suggesting content to users over its first couple of months. Between its auto-generated playlists based on your preference bubbles and curation straight from famous acts and DJs, you should have little trouble finding something you might not mind sticking in your earholes. And a new batch of ads for the streaming service has even more suggestions.

You can check out what Apple Music wants you to discover in the videos below.

These new spots offer a bit of variety; we have Flying Lotus doing his electronic thing, two dudes with guitars singing slow jams in Leon Bridges and Shamir, and some Regina Spektor-esque piano crooning from Flo Morrissey. So maybe you’ll find something there that you’re into.

Apple Music launched its three-month free trial on June 30, which means that listeners just have a couple more weeks to decide if they want to start paying for it. The service will cost $9.99 a month for an individual plan and $14.99 for a family plan including up to six people via iCloud Family Sharing.

It’ll be interesting to see how many users follow through with their subscriptions, especially considering some reports that fewer than half of the people who originally signed on at launch are still using it. Apple has disputed those numbers, claiming that its data give a retention rate of 79 percent.

Are you going to re-up for Apple Music at the end of the month? Let us know in the comments.

    Definitely keeping it on. Previously a Deezer user, and couldn’t get away with Spotify, I love Apple Music. Family pricing is great too so my daughter and gf can enjoy without the extra subscriptions.

      i started working from home, doing various simple jobs which only required desktop or laptop computer and Net access and I couldn’t be happierIt’s been six months since i started this and i made so far total of 37,000 dollars. Basicly i profit about 80 dollars every hour and work for 3 to 4 hours a day. And the best part about this job is that you can decide when to work yourself and for how long .and you get a paycheck weekly….dvfgfgfg….

    No not signing up. In the UK we have to pay $15.33 for a service that costs $9.99 p.m. in the US. Apple ripping us off just because of location. Sucks.
