Enable radio from liked songs playlist

Enable radio from liked songs playlist

Why doesn't spotify allow my to start a radio station from my liked songs playlist?
You can start one from any song/artist etc. but all that means is in order to get a radio of songs I will probably LIKE is that I have to:

1. Play my liked songs

2. Shuffle the playlist

3. Start a radio from the first song that comes up

4. Shuffle that playlist.

 

So instead of 1 step "Start shuffled radio of songs I'd probably like" I have to go through this 4 step process every time.

 

What is everybody else doing? This is taken care of with 1 click in YouTube Music (MySuperMix) but I see no solution in Spotify. Am I missing something, or is spotify?

Hi @Tohkoh,

 

Thanks for posting in the Spotify Community, and welcome!

 

You’re right that it’s not currently possible to go to a playlist radio based on your Liked Songs playlist.

 

However, I think that this is a great suggestion, and there is currently a Closed Idea in the Idea Exchange for this potential feature. Even though at the moment, the status of this idea is “Case Closed,” it doesn't mean that Spotify has rejected the idea, and the idea’s votes are still being monitored.

 

If it’s something you’re interested in, I recommend adding your +VOTE to the idea. The more votes an idea gets, the likelier it is that Spotify will implement it; and you can read more about how feedback on ideas reaches Spotify here. You can also Subscribe to the idea by clicking the three dots next to its title; that way, you’ll be sure to be informed of any relevant updates.

 

In the meantime, if you have the Spotify desktop app, you can try the workaround of creating a new playlist and adding all of your Liked Songs to it. To do this, select the option Create Playlist on the left side menu. After that, go to your Liked Songs, and select all the tracks by clicking any song and pressing Ctrl + A (Command + A on Mac). Next, drag all the selected songs to the new playlist you’ve created. Make sure that you don't have any unavailable songs (grayed-out tracks) in your Liked Songs, so as to avoid any issues with transferring them. You can then access a radio based on this new playlist as per usual, by clicking its three-dots menu and selecting “Go to playlist radio.”

 

Let me know if you have any other questions, and have a good day!
