Apple recently launched its Apple Music beta website to add a “Listen Now” feature that replaces the “For You” tab of the standard Apple Music website.

Listen Now is similar to For You, featuring Top Picks based on usage habits, recently played songs, and automatic playlists like Favorites Mix and Chill Mix, and it is regularly updated with new suggestions.
The new beta page, initially noticed by 9to5Mac, reflects the new “Listen Now” tab that was introduced in Apple Music in iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS Big Sur, and it exists alongside the non-beta Apple Music website. Apple has also redesigned the beta Apple Music website to be similar to the design of the Music app in iOS 14.
Apple made a web version of Apple Music, available in September 2019, and the web experience left beta in April 2020. Apple Music on the web lets Apple Music subscribers sign up to access their music libraries, playlists, personal mixes and recommendations. Music content plays directly in the web browser, making the web experience Apple Music available on any device.
Apple Music web on the web does not offer any specific features that can be found in Apple’s dedicated Apple Music apps, such as the option to display lyrics for songs that are playing.
The beta web experience will likely replace the existing web experience when iOS 14, iPadOS 14, and macOS Big Sur launch this fall. The beta page is available at beta.music.apple.com, while the default page is still available at music.apple.com.
