What is Spotify Radio?

Spotify Radio is a function of Spotify which allows you to create your own semi-custom radio stations.  Basically, you can start by picking a song, album, artist, genre, or playlist that you would like. Next, Spotify will play that song or a song that you have chosen from the artist, album, genre, or playlist, and then you can play a random sequence of songs that are from similar artists or genres.

Here, you can also either like or dislike each song that you hear. Depending on how you rate what you hear, Spotify will play more songs that are related or similar to the ones that you like and avoid songs that are similar to the ones that you don’t like. Along with that, you can even use your music and playlists to power Spotify Radio, making its recommendations even more accurate and precise.

• Next, click Radio on the left menu.
• Now, in the top-right corner of the main window, click New Station.
• A search window will appear. When you begin typing in search terms, it will display songs, artists, albums, or playlists whose names match, then click one to start a radio station.

While the current song is selected, click the thumbs-down icon to dislike the song, or click the thumbs-up icon to like it. Doing this will help Spotify learn what songs to play for you and which ones to avoid.
• When you move your mouse cursor over a song’s album artwork, you will have some additional options. You can click the “+” icon to add any song to your music collection, or click the “…” icon for advanced options, in which you will find options such as starting a playlist or sharing the song with your friends on Spotify, Facebook, or Twitter.
