What is Spotify Radio?

Another cool feature of the app is Spotify radio. This feature picks music for you based on an artist, album or song you like. Spotify automatically analyses songs and creates radio stations with music that is similar and are likely to be enjoyed by people who enjoyed the

artists, album or song the station is based on. Note that Spotify cannot be used to listen to regular FM or satellite radio stations; it’s just called Spotify radio because the songs are chosen for you similar to how traditional radio stations work.

  • Tap the three dots beside a song, title, album name or artist name.
