Is there a way to shuffle your radio stations?

[Trey_car509]

I want to listen to many kinds of music at once. is there a way to put multiple genres into one station or to shuffle your stations like a playlist? This is the only reason I prefer pandora over spotify b/c I don't know how to do this.

Hi, and welcome to the community!

I was just thinking, theoretically it will be possible by creating a playlist with multiple genres in and then selecting start radio at the top of the playlist? As Spotify takes the first 250 songs in your playlist and plays similar ones; so if there are multiple genres in the playlist it should play a variety of genres.

There is currently no way to shuffle radio stations; sound useful though! Feel free to submit this as an idea to the ideas section of the community.

I agree. I can't believe more people have not requested this! It is one of the reasons I use Pandora over this as well. I would like a selection of radio station types that I picked (Pop, Modern etc) and have it play songs from each station type just like Pandora.

I just started Spotify, and can't believe they don't have a shuffle for the radio. I get it has way better options then Pandora, but they still have that on Spotify. I like just choosing 10 different stations on Pandora and just letting it play. I get if I want to hear a specific song or album this is where its at. But sometimes I want to be lazy with my music listening.

I'll prob flip back and forth between Spotify and Pandora, for this very reason. I'm eclectic, and love some Psychic TV with a Norah Jones chaser, or, Haujobb mixed into The The. Pandora just throws it out there, and I'm like that's nutty, but it actually works.

I also like to shuffle my library folder which contains all my converted Last.fm scrobbles, playlists etc. and recreates my Last.fm library radio this way.

I agree, I want to shuffle genres.  I was considering upgrading to the pay-forSpotify, but i guess that I'll just stick with Pandor

I upgraded to premium, and thought that was the answer.  It doesn't matter.  Hopefully this will come in a future upgrade.  If it doesn't come soon, I think I'll stick with PandoraOne and drop Spotify premium.

On the mobile app you can, but i dont see why not on desktop.

4 years later-  still no way to shuffle radios.

Guess that's why I'm still listening to Pandora.

It is so frustrating now that Pandora has closed in Aust and forced onto Spotify I cant shuffle through Radio stations!!. I like to listen to a large variety of music at once and that was the best feature of Pandora. Not Happy at all

[LGiles]

Pandora has closed down in Aust. No choice but use another service. None compares..

How do you do it on the mobile app?

A person asked/posted the statement almost 5 years ago, in 2013, that Spotify doesn't offer a shuttle mode between radio stations, like Pandora does. I want to do that too, but Spotify still doesn't have this feature. Why?? Rob
