Where has genre-based radio gone?

[voice_of_reason]

Since 'Radio' has been removed from the menu (and has now moved to 'Stations' under 'My Music'), how do you start a genre-based radio station?

Has it?!? It's still showing for me OK, maybe an update has been applie to your account. It might be worth contacting support to see if they can check it out for you?

Contact Spotify Support using the form here.

You will get an automated reply at first, however if you need to chase them just reply to the email as it does get monitored.

Which part is still showing for you? 'Radio' under the main menu, or the ability to start a genre-based station from the new 'Stations' tab?

It's can't be something specific to my account, because it tells you that radio has now moved to the 'Stations' tab in the release notes that pop up when you first open Spotify after the most recent update (a couple of days ago).

But what it doesn't tell you is that the 'Stations' tab only shows your previous stations. You can start a track or artist-based station from a specific track or artist (as you've always been able to), but when you click on the 'Add Station' button in the new 'Stations' tab it just takes you to the search screen - but that search screen doesn't bring back genres in the search results - only specific tracks, albums and artists.

Am I missing something?!

OK, I think I figured it out. From main menu - Browse --> Genres and Moods --> Select the parent category you want (e.g. if you want 'Trance', you have to first know that it sits under 'Club') --> Filter --> Select your subcategory --> 'Start Radio'.

As opposed to previously selecting Menu --> Radio --> Select category

Pretty long-winded if you ask me. But it works, and all the categories seem to be there (if you drill down from the main categories and hunt for them).
