I remember when it was a literal radio feature in Spotify and it was this but the algorithm was decent and you could curate different stations.
Why did they get rid of Spotify Stations? Like I'm about to subscribe to Pandora to get this back but 128kbps.
They got rid of spotify stations but you can make a "radio" playlist from any song or other playing. Not as good still but better than nothing I guess
Nah I'm not talking about stations, I'm talking about radio. It was like, the main feature of Spotify for a while.
The "radio" you can make nowadays isn't a radio at all, it's a static playlist and a lot of the times the playlist it generates is just 50% ripped from my listening history, resulting in artist bubbles that for me have proven impossible to escape. Same deal for the music they generate when a playlist ends. A bunch of playlists paired with an algorithm that doesn't accept feedback simply cannot fill the role that was the original Spotify radio.
there are also like a billion playlist mixes of different genre currated just for you. kinda off the beaten path though dont recall what you look up to find them
