Spotify's feature for creating a station from a song or artist is called Radio.
Spotify Radio generates a collection of tracks based on a selected song, artist, album, or other starting point. It is intended for moments when listeners want music related to something they already enjoy but do not want to build a playlist themselves. Spotify periodically refreshes the resulting radio so it can continue to provide new listening choices.
To start one, a listener opens the menu for a song or artist and chooses “Go to Radio.” A radio can then be saved to the library under playlists, and Premium subscribers can download it where that option is available.
Radio is easy to confuse with Spotify’s personalized mixes and Discover Weekly. Those features are also recommendation-driven, but they are assembled differently: Radio begins with a specific seed, while mixes and editorial or personalized discovery lists may reflect broader listening patterns. Spotify may display labels such as song radio, artist radio, or album radio, but the feature name remains Radio.
