Playlist Radio is the remaining feature I pay for. Without it I'm not going to use Spotify. 90% of my Spotify listening is shuffled offline playlists on mobile or playlist radio on wifi.
I'm a premium user and have been for years. Almost since launch in my country
Spotify was great but now it's desparately trying to steer my listening for me.
I don't want "recommended for me", "Daily Mix", "Discover Weekly" or "Release Radar"
I don't use any of the categories in Browse or Home.
I pick the artists to follow, I hear about their new releases. Great. Don't guess for me. Except that feature doesn't work reliably.
I can't interface spotify with my own music collection because it still can't read local flac files. We were told that "feature" was coming nearly a decade ago.
The send feature has gone along with my inbox, there are now gems I was sent and can't find again. As well as songs I've sent to other people neither of us can remember.
I'm paying £5 a month through NUS for convinience and without playlist radio. I have no reason to pay for Spotify at all.
Totally agree!
Thanks!
I agree also. Song and Album Radio Playlists were great. They bring so much more music that I wouldn't think of playing, and available offline. Too bad it only lasted a month or so.
I completely agree with this sentiment. While I'm sure this was expensive to run, personalized features such as this one are crucial to the Spotify experience.
I will be watching for this feature to return, but without it I don't see a reason not to switch to Apple Music since all of my hardware and software is powered by them.
This may be good I can finally say 'Siri play _____'.

You might consider converting your FLAC music collection to ALAC with a free tool, because Spotify's desktop app supports local playback of M4A files with ALAC on Windows 10. Don't know about their mobile apps though.
ALAC is open source since 2011, see e.g. Wikipedia:

More important is support on your hardware devices of course.
