Playlist Radio is being removed from the context menu

[Eni]

In March 2023, we're removing the Playlist Radio option from the playlist context menu. We'd like to hear your thoughts and feedback about this change in the comments.

  

FAQ 

Are we removing the whole radio feature?

No, we are only removing Playlist Radio. Track/artist and album radios will still be available.

Do we have features where users can have a similar experience?

Yes, right now we have the enhance button or the recently rolled out smart shuffle to give recommendations based on user-created playlists.

Hi folks,

We can see that this thread has been getting a lot of attention, so we wanted to jump in and explain that we’re often testing and launching improvements and new features in order to provide our users with the best listening experience. This sometimes includes sunsetting older features in order to make room for new ones. While Playlist Radio has been removed, Song, Artist and Album Radios are still available and serve as valid alternatives.

As always, we'll continue to listen to user feedback, refine and introduce more ways for our users to easily search and stream the audio content they love. In the meantime, there's an existing idea about bringing back Playlist Radio, so feel free to add your vote to it, if you haven't already.

Take care.

PLEASE bring it back.

I do not accept as a solution and I do not appreciate your answer. Your new features are lackluster and we could easily forgo one of these terrible features in favor of a feature that worked better and was more useful. Every update has made Spotify disappointing and this is a small ask for making the app less meh in general. I do wonder if the playlist radio doesn’t come back because it’s require actual music that has similar qualities and there isn’t anybody work at Spotify who can make non AI-generated decision. Very disappointed. Definitely won’t be the last time I have something to say about this.

When Spotify openly ignores 'Live Idea' requests and pain-points that have clearly been defined, 'voted' and 'replied' on thousands of times (both on this thread and the "Bring back Playlist radio" thread), it seems that our contributions to the 'community' are pointless, making this feedback community anything but communal.

Please bring back the Radio from Playlist feature.  It's one of the most voted on 'ideas' in the last 10 years of idea submissions.  There currently are no valid alternatives to this feature and nothing comparable has been provided.

Not a solution, not backing down. It wouldn’t be so bad if your enhanced option wasn’t so atrocious! It recommends the same music over and over again, the music is barely curated, and the format to listen to what’s been added is annoying. I don’t want to have to listen to my playlists to find the music! All you’ve done is made me over listen to a playlist or have to play the skipping game to simply try and get a new song. Which you won’t anyways, because it recommends the same useless drivel every time. Is it run by AI yet? Because the whole process is painful, frustrating, and disappointing. Shame on you for acting like you’ve solved this issue.
