How To Play Desktop Radio

How To Play Desktop Radio

I can create radio stations, and play the playlist of "Liked From Radio", but no way to view the list of the three or four radio stations I have already created.

On the left pane in the main page, I have "Browse" and "Your Music".

Inside of "Your Music", I have "Playlists", "Songs", "Albums", and "Arists".

When I start a new radio station, the player at the bottom of the screen appears and the new station begins playing, but if I want to listen to that new station later, I can't find it.

Hi.

Have you tried following the station(s)? Here's guide that Spotify provides:

Okay, I think I'm confused a bit cause I'm still new to spotify. When I say desktop, I mean browser. I can't have access to the app at all due to workplace restrictions.

 

So the link you sent might help if I downloaded the app, but the browser version of Spotify looks nothing like that. The Radio songs have a Heart and "no symbol" (red circle with a slash), not thumbs. And there's no Radio link on the left pane anywhere.

 

About two days ago, Spotify made alterations to the layout and design of their website. So when I go to the "WebPlayer" section of that link you sent, it's outdated. There USED to be a "Radio" icon, as well as the "Search" and "Follow" icons. But presently the search icon is across the header of the page, and "Radio" and "Follow" are gone.

Think I found a way to start a Radio station on the new Web Player. Under your music go to a playlist with the track or playlist you want to start a Radio station based on the click the three dots and choose Start Radio.

That I can do, but then what if I listen to a playlist and want to return to that radio station? It's like I can only listen to a station once, and then never again.

I don't have a solution for you but you can vote on this idea to bring back some features to the Web Player:
