My Question or Issue

I’ve had a day to work through the new app and I’ve noticed a few things that are missing: 

Radio

Discover

Historic Playlists

I’ve also noticed that under the “Liked from Radio” playlist that there are a number of straight up duplicates (no alt-versions). 

I switched from Pandora about 5 years ago because of the UI and the option to more easily discover music. However, with the new UI and the inability to easily create new radio stations or use the Discover option, I have to say that the new app is now on par with Pandora’s experience 5 years ago. 

Are these options now under the “Premium” option? Or is premium just no ads and you can skip unlimited songs? This feels like a step backwards for usability, though the UI does look sleek.
