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'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.  ...

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

Hiya   I have a feature request to update the touchbar functionality When listening to a radio. So below is me listening to a song radio, and how my spotify client and touchbar look.    The feature I suggest is to replace the shuffle and repeat buttons with the thumbs as shown in the controls in the spotify app.  ...

From everything I've read, the June 2019 Spotify update makes the app the same thing as the Spotify Stations app. So why are there both? None of us want green Pandora, but fine, if that's what you're going to do though then why do it twice separately? Why not just leave the genuine original product alone and make the knock off the spin off? Just a suggestion, I'm probably going to cancel anyway. If Spotify thinks Pandora is so great then isn't that the product I should be using? I don't like cheap knock offs. ... View more

I'm not sure where this would go as this is an idea more for Spotify for Artists, but I would like to see a separate radio station that artists create, where they can decide which artists are similar. It would be separate and could be called "artist-curated radio" or something along those lines. I just notice as a small artist I have no radio and this may help smaller artists.  ... View more

It would be great to have the same functionality that we have in the Discovery Weekly, Release Radar, and Daily Mixes in the Radio Stations. I saw another post talk about banning artists and I'm not asking for that. I just want to be able to say "I don't like this artist" or "I don't like this song" when listening to the Radio. ...

Petition to bring back song/playlist radio feature. https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/bring-back-the-songplaylist-radio-feature-on-spotify.html   In their latest update, Spotify removed the radio feature from their service. This feature gave you a selection of songs based on either an album, song artist or playlist of your choosing. You could up or downvote songs with more loading as you listened to the selection, tailoring it to your taste.   Now, you are simply given a limited playlist of 50 songs and not only can you not select which songs you like/dislike, but you also cannot customise the playlist at all. Further, any radio playlists people had saved from before this change are no longer accessible. This means some users have lost playlists that they had spent months curating.   This re-design pushes users towards certain artists and limits user customisation. The only reason Spotify have given us for this change is that they wanted to make the app "more streamlined and easier to use."   We do not accept these changes at the expense of a much-loved feature by the Spotify community.   We are asking very precisely that Spotify undo this change. Return the "Playlist radio" contextual option in all platforms. We further ask that it return for all objects, i.e all playlists (created by the user or other users), albums, artists etc. Basically: make it like it used to be.   We need to show Spotify that this is was a mistake. They fail to listen to feedback on their website (despite 500 people voting for this proposal) so we are making a more public petition. Please sign and share this petition so Spotify gets the message.   https://www.gopetition.com/petitions/bring-back-the-songplaylist-radio-feature-on-spotify.html ... View more

There are significant inconsistencies relating to the Radio feature depending on the source material used to create the station and the device used to listen.  Most notably, where the station goes when it is saved and the placement and availability of controls for liking and disliking songs on the playback screen.   At the time of this submission, playlists, artist profiles, albums, and individual tracks all offer a 'Go to radio' option under their respective ellipsis (...) context menus on iOS.  However, if 'Go to radio' is selected from a personal playlist, the user is directed to a true radio station with an unlimited number of tracks.  On iOS the playback control screen features the Heart button on the lower left below the track progress bar (opposite of its placement at literally any other time) and the circle with a line through it is in the lower right.  On desktop, there are thumbs-up, thumbs-down icons, and plus icons and it is not clear how their functions differ from the icons on iOS.  On desktop, Following a playlist-based station saves it to the Stations section of Your Library.  As far as I can tell there is no way to save playlist-based radio stations to Stations in Your Library on iOS, only add the tracks to a new or existing playlist.   Alternatively, if 'Go to radio' is selected from an artist profile, album, or individual track, then the user is directed to a playlist of only 50 songs and Following from iOS or desktop creates a new playlist in Your Library.  With these stations it seems that you-get-what-you-get and there is no way of adjusting the results as you listen.  On iOS the Heart button is back in the upper right, there is no circle with a line through it and shuffle/repeat controls are now below the track progress bar.  (what a mess!)     My suggestions: If you are going to have a Stations section in Your Library, then make all radio stations the same and distinct from playlists.  Make them unlimited and allow for modification of station results based on user input (thumbs-up, thumbs-down).  That's what makes it a station and not a static playlist.  Having a Stations section but saving most of the saved stations under Playlists only confuses matters. Implement the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons for radio stations on all devices so that users can tune the station to their liking as they go. On radio stations, leave the Heart or plus icon for adding a song to Your Library in the top right where it usually is and place the thumbs-up and thumbs-down icons for tuning the station below the track progress bar where shuffle and repeat icons usually live.  (Shuffle/repeat do not apply to an unlimited-track station) Tuck the 'Don't play this song' button (circle w/ line through it) away under the ellipsis context menu with a text label since this is a feature that people do not want to use very frequently and is likely to be pressed regularly by users who unknowingly think they are just tailoring their station results. ...

Hey, thought this would be a rad feature. I like to listen at full albums at a time between Spotify.   This may sound silly but could there be a feature where ypu can contiinue into an album from radio?   For example: You are listening to a really good song, perhaps you know this artist is good so you want to switch to them, or they are new artist that you wanna give hear and album from. You could go to "view album" and then right click the song you are currently listening to an select something like "continue from here".   When clicking this it shifts you off radio, and into the album without stopping the song and then continues to play the rest of the album.   Maybe after the end of the album it might put you back onto the original radio ot it could be an option to change to the new artists radio. ...

This is an idea that has previously been floated and then closed by Spotify (see here). Spotify, please consider the below post before closing.   I would like to re-open this idea for discussion/reconsideration. I believe that the response by Spotify doesn't adequately consider user needs.    Original Request: The original poster @Mikell requested that the ability to  create a saved radio station based on more than one artist. The station could then be developed by clicking the like/dislike buttons, to make it more suited to user's tastes. This would be similar to a Daily Mix, but based on specific artists as directed by the user. This is very similar to a Pandora functionality.   Spotify Response: Spotify responded that 'We believe users can easily achieve this by creating a playlist of the multiple artists you'd like to base a Radio station on.'   For Spotify to Consider: The 'solution' posed by Spotify requires that the user know of artists to add to the playlist, rather than using artists/songs as a way to discover new music. As noted above, this functionality exists on other platforms, so it should be easy enough to release on Spotify.  ... View more

So, i was listening a song that i didn't like but i didn't hate either... i would have liked to tag it as nope but didn't want to skip it because of reason. so here's my idea.   A meh option is added to the thumbs up and down, the meh has the same effect of the Thumbs down option, without skipping the song and the Effect last only a couple hours (duration to be determined by people who actually have data to analyse )   lemme know what y'all think ...

I really like the feature of being able to block / hide certain artists from playing when I listen on mobile, but I noticed this feature isn't available for laptops. Do artists you've hidden on mobile carry over to Spotify on your laptop? If so, it's pretty inconvenient to have to go on the mobile app to hide an artist just so they don't play on my computer. And if it doesn't carry over, what's the point of even hiding the artists in the first place when they'll just be unhidden the moment you use a different device?   Please bring the hidden artist feature to the various versions of Spotify for computers / laptops!!! ...

There are more complete Live Radio Applications already in existence... I was surprised that Spotify did not already have all (or at least most) live radio stations included in their platform, iHeart Radio doesn't include that many live stations either.   I found (after extensive research) the TuneIn Radio App for Android to be THE most complete listing of "live radio stations"...   It would be handy to have even just the catalog that TuneIn presently has available on Spotify... I think Spotify should create a more in depth listing of available radio stations or even take the easy way out and purchase one of the many applicationss already in existence.   I listen to Reggae, Classic Country, Classic Jazz, Classic Rock... I also listen to a lot of meditation and sleep music... Lastly, I listen to talk radio including NPR, FOX, MSNBC, Etc... It is fun and interesting to tune in to local radio stations all around the world for music and news.   JMHO and Thanks for listening! ;-)   ... View more
