Can't wrap my head around why Spotify would remove the ability to add new radio stations on the Radio page (Windows and Android). What used to take two steps (from the logical starting point of the Radio page), now requires you to navigate to the Artist/Album, click on their info for the dropdown, and create a station. Sure, it's not that much more difficult to do, but just makes more sense to me to have the ability to add radio stations directly on the Radio page by searching for Artists/Albums/Songs. I miss my beautiful green button. Just my worthless $0.02. ... View more

Hey!   There are changes introduced to radio feature and as a result it seems there are two separate ways to get a radio station for albums, artists and songs. It's quite confusing.   When you click three dots on any artist, song or album and hit 'Go to artist/song/album radio' in the context menu, you'll be brought to something like this: Notice how it says 'Playlist' above the title. Autoplay will continue playback after the list ends, but this is, in my opinion, not supposed to be replacing the radio feature.   Real radio station, which can be created by going to Radio menu on left-hand bar on desktop (Station in Your Library on mobile), hitting 'Create New Station' button, typing in the name of song/artist/album and clicking on the result) looks like this: Notice how it says 'album radio'. There is also no definite number of tracks.   In conclusion, creating a Radio (e.g on a song) will yield two different results - a playlist and a radio station based on the song.   I find Spotify should consider either 1. creating a radio station in both cases; 2. renaming the context menu entry to something else to reflect this difference and avoid confusion.   Thank you for reading. :) ...

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. ...

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 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. ...

Would really like to be able to have the player displayed in fullscreen like the Spotify app. Also, AM/FM access on this app would make it one of the best Radio apps ever... was searching for a decent radio app for hours today, only to stumble on "Stations" by accident and love it!         ...

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

We should be able to listen to local radio stations on here. For example, it should be like iHeartRadio, TuneIn, or Radio.com. It would win everyone over or at least just about everyone (if not already). Can we please get this feature. We have everything else except for local radio stations. P.S. I mean stations like AM and FM (and maybe even XM). ... 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

I understand that J-Pop is not as popular as K-Pop, but these two genres go hand-in-hand. Spotify has quite a few songs by the most popular J-Pop artists (Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Perfume, BABYMETAL, etc.), so it's a bit strange that there isn't already a J-Pop radio.  ... View more

I listen mostly in my car using Android Auto and often listen to Daily Mixes so I don't have to fuss with choosing tracks. However, hitting thumbs down doesn't change the station at all. If I thumbs down using the regular interface, I can ban the song or artist, and it works. If I'm driving, I can thumbs down a song, and the exact song will play 30 minutes later. The only way I can shape my playlist is to sit down in the evening and skip through the list voting on things, which I have no desire to do. As a result, my mixes have a lot of junk that get played constantly and I can't change that during my commute. It would be ideal if it nixed the song from lists by default. ... View more

I'd like to go ahead and renew the call for better "Stations" functionality. For context, I'm using the windows desktop app. I'm a new premium subscriber, and up to now had never created a Station. What I expected upon entering the "Stations" section and clicking the "Create new station" button was to be able to start adding artists, albums, genres, or songs to a blank station; instead, all it does is bring up a search sidebar with no functionality to set it apart from the regular search. Upon clicking a search result, I was frustrated at not getting any indication of what this page has to do with the Station I'm trying to create. The function of the "Follow" button is not intuitive: I had to Google to learn that clicking "follow" creates a station; prior to that I assumed it was like Twitter, and I'd get some kind of news feed about the artist or whatever. I hope this anecdote helps guide further development :) ... View more

Thank you so much for making a stand-alone Spotify app for Apple Watch, love it!! 💚   In the next version, I would like to request the option to Thumbs Up/Down a song on Apple Watch when listening to a playlist radio. It could easily be the same UX as the iPhone locked-screen widget, which has the Thumbs Up/Down hamburger button instead of the Rewind, as shown here: Pressing the hamburger button allows me to Thumbs up/down a song directly from the lock screen. Thank you very much! ... View more
