These include two automatically generated lists. One is a selection of tracks that Instagram has suggested "For you," and the other is a list you can browse. You can also use the search box at the top of the page to search for a specific track.
If you want to hear what a song sounds like, you simply need to tap the play arrow to the right of the track information.
