Shawn, it works perfectly! well, ok, fine! Almost! perfectly, on the mac.
You need to go to the app store, check for updates, and grab the latest
ITunes 12.2. It finally got released yesterday. I'm seeing one really
really major bug that is absolutely downright annoying, and being I'm an
Apple dev, I'll look and see if the bug tracker has a classification yet for
Apple Music. If it does, I'll file it. there is a work-around though to
the problem which though annoying as heck, does work, and is fairly easy to
do. I'll explain that though in another thread, just to keep things
organized better by e-mail subject.
Basically though once you get the new update, go into your music source on
the mac, and you'll see 7 radio buttons within music. One of them just like
on I O S will say For You. Hit that, then go do a search like normal. Go
down to your html area, interact, and boom! You'll then be able to do
pretty much anything you need to do.
Chris.

Good thing I have a 5 gb data plan then, although I don't ever use it up in
one month. I have Wifi most of the time. And about the infinite skips thing,
I'm sure that the people that want to use Apple music after the free trial
without paying for it will probably have a limit to the number of skips they
can use. Also, I thought iTunes wasn't capable of using it yet. If this is
wrong, how would I use it on the Mac?

I had some issues getting custom made Apple Music tracks added to
playlists to sync from my IPhone across to ITunes on the mac, but that's
really the only quirk I've found. Actually, it started working after a
while. I think it's server load. The one thing though I had to do is, I
can't find a way to manually resync playlists which have songs from Apple
Music not in my local library, nor in the cloud, that I'm only streaming.
So, what I had to do is, after adding them on I O S, as I can't find a way
to go to the For you section on the mac, then add something to a playlist.
But on I O S, if I do it, then the only way I so far have been successful
even 3/4 of the time only, is to command+Q, and quit ITunes, then come
back in, and then it'll update.
I suspect either 1, it's server load, or 2, it would! auto-refresh, but
only automatically after X amount of time. God knows what that amount
would be. I know it can't be changed, as if it could, I would a seen the
option by now, as thorough as I was looking at things, trust me! I'd say
logically though, I'd think maybe once an hour. If you want sooner, you
gotta restart ITunes to force it. Realize what I am saying isn't
necessarily fact. It's only what my observation is so far, so people like
Shaf etc. don't come down my throat. I'm only telling you what I've so
far seen. If you think you know better, then by all means, correct me.
Do tell, as I'd be curious.

I created a custom station on my old iPhone for S, and the same one showed
up when I signed into my iPhone 5s. So it seems that custom stations are
moving across just fine. I don't yet have the new iTunes on my Mac. And I
haven't tried all the fancy stuff you're talking about otherwise, but
custom stations are sinking or whatever you call it

I have a mac and iphone that I've signed into here and since I'm usually
having wifi handy I wouldn't mind paying for this especially if I can
figure out how to add whole albums for streaming to my library. It looks
like this could replace several music apps once I can figure out how to
manage playlists and stations and things across devices. Certainly
impressed with sound quality and the fact that it has found everything I
could possibly want to listen to. Now I just need to figure out how to
make custom playlists and stations so I can do weird things like mix
Accept albums with Bach and bagpipe music and have it remember what I
was playing when I switch from one device to another because I bounce
around a lot. But certainly this might save me from having to keep track
of large collection of stuff once I can figure out the complexity! I
certainly don't have enough disk space or time to go and download all the
stuff I would listen to if it was handy to stream so I think this looks
very good. Big fat warning to anyone with a data cap though this will eat
it for lunch since 256kbps is what it streams at. I don't know if it has
a lower bandwidth option so keep the wifi handy!
