Spotify updates platform with new radio app

Spotify has updated its recently unveiled Spotify Platform, currently in beta, with a new smart radio playlist function. The latest preview build nestles the Radio section in among the new Spotify Apps. Users can now drop any song onto the app, which prompts it to create a radio station of similar music.

The new radio experience offers users unlimited stations and unlimited skips. Users can skip between stations and tracks as well as save songs to playlists for on-demand listening at other times. The app uses Spotify’s “all-new intelligent recommendation engine” in order to ensure that users get a more finely tailored selection of music.

Spotify promises that the new Spotify Radio as well as new Spotify Apps will be rolling out in the next few days. [via Engadget]
