Apple says AutoMix uses AI to analyze audio features and "crafts unique transitions between songs with time stretching and beat matching to deliver continuous playback and an even more seamless listening experience." This is basically what a DJ does when they're performing live. It could be cool to have your own personal DJ built into your streaming service, but the results in Apple Music vary from quite good to totally off-putting.
Why AutoMix is a mixed bag
Credit: AppleAutoMix sometimes feels like it's a really good DJ who's made the perfect set list just for you. When it works well, tracks blend into one another and you never feel out of place. I am a fan of continuous playback, and when it works, AutoMix delivers spectacularly. However, unlike a good DJ, AutoMix doesn't care much for track order and tries to blend songs no matter what. If you have a high-energy song followed by a slower one, AutoMix will slow down the end of the fast song so that it matches the beat of the slower one coming next. It also speeds up slow songs when the next track is a faster one, which sounds comically bad at times.
It's a useful feature for certain types of playlists where tracks have a similar "vibe," but it struggles when your playlists have wildly varying types of songs. I have a habit of curating playlists carefully, so that the sounds at the end of a song match those at the beginning of the next one, and AutoMix didn't work well with any of those playlists. By blending the end of one track with the start of the next, AutoMix undid a lot of my hard work. I honestly wouldn't mind using it with playlists that I automatically play on shuffle mode, but not with personally curated playlists. The good thing is that Apple has disabled AutoMix for albums and "some genres," so you don't have to worry about AI ruining your favorite masterpieces.
How to enable or disable AutoMix in Apple Music

Go to Settings > Apps > Music > Song Transitions, and disable Song Transitions. This will let songs play out normally. If you'd rather keep gapless playback without the AI DJ, then you can keep Song Transitions enabled, and select Crossfade on the same page. Apple lets you pick the duration of the crossfade, which you might prefer over AutoMix.
