Your own Apple Music playlists, turned into a non-stop radio station with an AI DJ.
On first launch, tap Allow when OL DJ asks for access to your music. It needs this to read your playlists and play your songs. You can change this later in Settings → Privacy & Security → Media & Apple Music.
Tap the big play button to start your station. OL DJ shuffles through your music and the DJ chats between tracks — recapping what just played, teasing what's next, calling the time, the odd joke or news headline.
Tap the "songs from…" line (or the gear) to choose which playlists feed the station. By default it plays across all your playlists and favourites.
From your own Apple Music library and playlists. By default OL DJ plays across all your playlists and favourites; you can narrow it to specific playlists, or switch to your whole library, from the Music Source screen.
Yes. OL DJ keeps playing with the screen locked or the app in the background, and you can control it from the lock screen, your headphones, or Siri — say "Hey Siri, pause" or "Hey Siri, play".
The DJ uses Apple's on-device speech voices. For the most natural sound, choose an Enhanced or Premium voice in the app's voice picker (download more in Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices). On supported devices the DJ can also generate fresh lines with Apple's on-device intelligence.
No. Your library and listening stay on your device. The only network request the app makes is fetching public news headlines to read on-air — see the privacy policy for details.
Open the gear icon and use the Chattiness slider — from "barely talks" to full radio-DJ energy. You can also turn the on-device AI lines on or off.
