I don't know for sure but I would guess Pandora worked the same, it just didn't show you the list. There is a feature in Spotify for it to continue playing similar songs once it hits the end of a list but I think the initial list is always the same for that song or artist radio.
I don't think the web player version of Spotify seems to have that feature. Unfortunately, there are a lot of things the web player lacks, but I can't download the app on my work computer.
When I'm at home I'm usually on my phoje on the mobile app which seems to have most features though.
Looks like the web version is lacking it. The apps both desktop and phone support the feature.
One setting is in the apps settings. Auto play will play similar content once the current Playlist ends if repeat (and maybe shuffle?) is off.
In playlists you have made you can toggle Smart Shuffle which mixes recommendations into your shuffled playlist while it is toggled on. It doesn't seem to work with the radio feature but I think Autoplay does.
Yea, work computers suck, our company blocks spotify at the network so I just have to use my phone and cellular.
There is a smart Playlist called daylist. I haven't used it much but it updates throughout each day. Might be worth checking out if you want different music at work. https://newsroom.spotify.com/2023-09-12/ever-changing-playlist-daylist-music-for-all-day/
Yeah I like smart shuffle but again it's not available on the web player. I wonder why Spotify decided to so heavily cripple the web player. I'm guessing somehow they don't get as much data out of us that way somehow?
I actually can't use my phone for Spotify at work because I have to use a specific Bluetooth headset connected to my work computer. My work has me dictating things into the computer all day with my work headset.
Daylist sounds like an interesting feature. Thanks, I may check it out!
