I am having this error on windows XP -Trying to build single artist radio station
I REALISE THIS IS POSTED IN MOBILES IOS - I followed a link here, meant to post in parent - sorry
Any words of encouragement or wisdom on the matter . .
I don't see the answer on the other topic.
"sorry this radio station cannot be started" is displayed selectively
I get this message when trying to make a station with 1) the slide brothers and 2) shouting matches but not when I start a Santana station or eagle eye cherry or ... the list is endless.
Any one have a real answer?
I'll bet they're "working on it". What do they pay to use an artists work?
Hey! 🙂
Just tried it out, it appears I am not able to start a radio station on those artists either.
Normally this happens when Spotify is not able to generate enough content to make the radio station. It would appear that "Shouting Matches" do not have a "related artists" tab either, which might mean there is something wrong or the content has only been recently added. Spotify generate the related artists and radio details automatically, so maybe there just isn't enough play data to have those generated yet. Give it a little time and see if it starts working!

None of the previously working radio stations are working now. Is there is a resolution to this problem or do I need to switch back to Pandora?
can you reference the link to where you found the create radio station preferences? I'm trying to get three artists radio station enabled and it's super frustrating.
I was having the same Issue "Sorry. This radio station cannot be started". I found that if I use the "start radio" located at the top of the screen while browsing an artist the issue persists; however, if I play a song by that artist and right click on the album cover at the bottom left of the screen and select "start radio" it works like a charm.
I hope this helps some of you. I've tested this several times here and for me it seems to be the solution for now.
I have the same problem since today. Radio stations that have been working fine in the past cannot be heard any more and display the "sorry..." message. Others still play fine. Some play just three songs and start all over with the same songs if you try to play the station again.
It's the same on my MacBook Pro (OS 10.9.1), on my iPad (iOS 7.1) and on my phone (Android 4.2.2).
Please help!
