Alexa has two music services, one for specific requests (artists/albums/playlists) and another for "radio" (e.g. artist stations). Amazon and Apple Music support both services, but Spotify only supports the former.    You cannot ask Alexa to play "Madonna Radio" for example. Please add support for this.       Related to closed idea: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/_/idi-p/4109158 ... View more

I am evaluating Spotify Premium and was pretty happy until my radio stations disappeared, and all I can find are playlists. I actually watched as the Queue ran out of songs. After 3 hours of texting support, I was told to come here and suggest a change. Are you kidding me?????There are free alternatives that have radio stations. Please fix this soon, or myself and many like me, will soon be with the competition.  ... View more

I couldnt find this idea before, so here it is. Wouldnt it be great to have a radio based on your last heard songs (for example for the last 30 days)? Maybe this idea is a bit like "The Mix of the week", but i would like an infinite daily mix of my known songs and also new ones which are similar. ... View more

If there were others interested, it would be great to provide a curated station run by a dj based on the different musical genres.   This is not a new concept for having internet radio stations but I wonder if it fits well in the spotify portfolio with the market saturation, library, application and subscription model.  WOXY was a great example of an internet radio station for alternative music years ago before it shut down.    I would suggest that this would only be available to premium members as to have a revenue stream to not rely on advertisements which would mess with the flow of the programming.    Discover Weekly is great and I am sure much work has been put into the algorithms for finding new music but having different people selecting and playing songs based on different focused shows would also be great.  Deep cuts from popular artists with minimal plays, new music highlights, top X format. These are all possibilities and would take advantage of the data already being collected across the platform.  Clearly a request based format is just what is available now, but there could always be suggestions submitted to the dj's. ...

there should be an easter egg when you press like, for example, 20 times the like button, it says "super like", just for those times when you absolutely LOVE a track that pops up in your radio. Maybe it can automatically put all your super-liked songs in a playlist too. ... View more

Im new to posting so please bare with me here.   Im have been a long time Spotify listener and have curated some playlists that are gathered from radio stations I listen to.   What I've found is the radio stations typically only play a select number of songs per artist and are found to repeat thoughtout the listening experiance.   What I suggest is that the radio option plays songs based off the artists' albums so that more songs from the artists play.  Rather than the same songs over and over agian.   Is there a way to create radio stations that play a wider variety of songs based off the artist that is selected.  Songs that are not typically the most popular and more random.     I should also thank Spotify for always being there for me, everyday.   ...

Currently, CarPlay does not show "Stations" in the Your Library section of the home screen on the auto.  You can use the phone (but that defeats purpose of CarPlay), and you might find a station in Recently Played.    But please add  Stations to Your Library.   Also, please add a way to create a new station based on the currently playing song or artist.  If we can hit a thumbs up or down (or +) while driving, clearly we can create a station.  I do most of my listening in the car. Spotify brings me a lot of new music via Discover playlists, but no easy way to create a station from that music.   Thanks. -John ... View more

I note that this idea was closed after not getting enough votes. Maybe it's time to open the idea again. With this years selling by the thousands of Echo Dots I'm sure there are a lot more Spotify users who will be as disappointed as I am. To find that I can't ask for a specific Artist Radio, a function I regularly use on my phone, i s very frustrating. Is it the Dot that's going back or my subscription to Spotify? ... View more

I love the radio stations and use them all the time. But every time I create a station based on a song I never hear that song after the first or second time listening to that station. If I choose a song based station I want to hear that particular song or I would pick an artist based station. ... View more

This is what I would like to see in the playlist radio station: Option for "Don't play songs already in my playlist". Option to "Add liked songs to the playlist". Option that lets you say "I'm tired of this song" (this should be for all songs in spotify).  Liking and disliking songs should be reversible. I know the spotify radio algorithm has improved a lot. But when I'm listening to a radio station started from a playlist, the majority of the songs are what's already in my playlist. I don't "dislike" these songs, it's just I'm tired of listening to them or want to discover new music. This would really allow a personalized “discover new music” that’s doesn’t require any effort. Maybe adding this feature to spotify premium would be another incentive for people to become join spotify premium.   Recommended Songs are great except I can't "dislike" songs and refresh keeps bringing back those songs.  ...

For all of my radio stations based on the playlists that I have, no matter how many times I click on "Dislike" when a song comes up, it almost always plays that song again the next time I open the playlist radio station. I love the playlist radio but I am getting extremely frustrated hearing the songs I clicked thumbs down on. ... View more

I'm not sure if it is a bug or not but the fact that the output is not constant made me create this issue.   Current behavior 1. Find a song that you like. 2. Right click on the song and select "Go To Song Radio" 3. Notice the playlist. the song that was used to generate the playlist is not present.   Expected behavior: song used to generate the playlist should be the first song in the playlist.    PS: in rare ocassion the song used to generate the playlist is in the top 10 for the playlist 1/10 times ish.  ...

With a car radio stereo that is based on Android ... the buttons on Spotify are difficult to handle.   An idea would be to have car view available even when NOT connected to Bluetooth, which will never actually happen as the app is running on the same car radio   thanks. ... View more

Spotify Radio is one of the best and probably underused features. Unfortunately it takes 2 clicks (or a tap, scroll, tap) to get to from the ••• button.    It would be so great if there was a button next to the ••• that brings you to the radio for that song or artist. Check out the mockups. ... View more

This happens to me alot: I am listening to some "Made for you" station or just a song/album/artist radio and a song from an album pops up that I don't want to hear outside a certain playlist / album. For example "Time" by Pink Floyd, I love Pink Floyd but really dislike listening to their songs not as part of listening to the entire album. One way to do this is to block the songs, but I'm pretty sure that that affects Spotify's prediction of songs I might like. My suggestion is to allow users to flag certain songs as "Not to be played at random" so that they won't be included in any radio they listen to or any "Made for you" station that spotify generates for them. ...

I recently bought a Sony xav-ax100 car stereo.  I currently run Android Auto with Spotify which is OK however that is about as good of a rating as I can give it.  Andriod Auto is glitchy to say the least.  It is slow to start and has several problems when connecting through bluetooth.  I bought this deck to try to be hands free and I spend more time dinking with it to try to get to work than I did when I just played the music on my phone.  There is no way it is safer, which was my whole goal.   It would be AWESOME if Spotify would just build their own app that runs on Car Stereos like the Sony xav-ax100.  It should run completely independent of my phone except when it needs to transfer data. Streaming music kills my phone battery and I get in out of my car constantly so hooking up a powercable/usb is very annoying. Netflix has brilliantly added an opening question of 'Who is watching?'  This causes Netflix to customize what shows are available based on the viewer.  Spotify could do the same thing and say 'Who is in the car?' (or link to multiple phones and just know who is in the car) and provide a custom blend of channels based on this info. I would study how people use services like XM radio.  Spotify has channels already that are customized to its users.  Figure out how to make those be channels in my car without requiring me to use my phone.  That would be great if I could completely customize my list of car channels to what I want and not what some other company thinks I should listen too. Spotify could easily compete with Sirrus and XM if you would just download 64Gb of music to the stereo in the car. 95% of the trips drivers go on are just a few minutes, maybe an hour.  Even vacation trips are less than 15 hours of driving.  If the unit had even just 64Gb of memory it could easily store 500 hours of music to prevent replaying the same song for months unless the user wants to hear it again. My car spends about 8 hours a day with in range of my wiFi at my house.    If the app was designed to download fresh music, like my daily mixs or any changes to my playlists, when the radio was in range of the secure wifi users could always have new music to listen to.  Spotify could also easily make sure the licensing and subscriptions are up to date via wifi or phone connnections. Even if it was not able to connect via wifi, which would be the most convenient, it could transfer a file to my phone then upload to the deck when I connect with the usb cable. Clean up the interface so it operates as easily as XM Radio currently does in cars.  The layout in Andriod Auto makes me look away from the road for too long to change what I am listening too. HUGE THING - Make voice recognition work through the app so I can just say 'Hey Spotify, play . . . . . . '.  Currently it tries to use something through Andriod Auto and it is infuriating because it never works right.  In fact, half the time Andriod Auto simply says "I am not allowed to do that right now".  My wife and I end up screaming at the stupid thing until we finally just start laughing because it is so dumb. Add commands like 'Hey Spotify, add this song to my library' Add commands like 'Hey Spotify, show me my playlists' Add commands like 'Hey Spotify, play songs that my wife and I both like' (pick songs in both our history) Add commands like 'Hey Spotify, show me the artist profile' that opens an easy to read at a glance screen that shows info about the artists and song data.  The little RDS 8 character display that scrolls across the screen so slowly when you listen on the radio is so unsafe it is insane.  I spend way too much time with my eyes off the road when I am trying to figure out who is singing the current song.   Most newer radios stay on for 20 minutes or until a door is opened.  In 20 minutes, a lot of music could be refreshed.  But if that is not sufficient, then work with Sony to figure out a way to run in the background.  It would only need to download once until the driver gets in the car again, so it wouldn't run the battery dead. ...
