My Question or Issue

 I created a radio station from a playlist, after that I went back and added a bunch more song to that playlist.  I want the radio station to reflect those changes in it's song selection, but it doesn't seem to.  I can't find a way to force it to recheck the playlist, I also don't see a way to delete the station and then re-add it based off the udpated playlist.  Am I missing something or is there just no way to do this?  How am I supposed to update this station?  I guess I could make a whole new playlist with all of the songs now on my updated original playlist and create a station off that, but that seems very convoluted.

Hey @crabcakes, welcome to the Community.

 

Hope you are doing great!

 

Radio Stations get "updated" by your feedback 😉

Everytime you listen a song or tap on that Thumbs Up/Down it learns your tastes better and tries to provide you with songs you like mostly.

You can read about this feature of Spotify right here in this FAQ.

 

Have a nice day 🙂

@LorenXK I'm aware of the algorithms for the station "learning" from your thumbs ups and downs, but that's not what I'm asking about.    I'm talking specifcally about a station created from a custom playlist.  If I go back to that playlist and add another 3 artists I like it doesn't seem to reflect in the radio station based off of that playlist.  I see no way to force it to update the station based off the new songs I've added to the playlist either.   

Hey @crabcakes,

 

Thank you for your reply.

It does take some time for the algorithm to update your station.

If you would like, you can submit your idea about Radio Stations in Idea Submissions board or support it if this idea has been already submitted.
