Originally available in Australia, Spotify's Pandora-esque Stations is now available in the United States. The good news is that the application is pretty good, even if Spotify calls it experimental.

Start with Spotify in India

Spotify finally launched its streaming music service in India in February 2019, after many stops and starts and despite a legal battle with Warner Music Group that is still raging today (more on that later). …

Just like Pandora, the music automatically starts playing when you open Stations. The large letters of the station names on the monochrome background help them to distinguish themselves from each other. Each station has its own background color, although the notification player always takes the main color of the album cover.

You can create artist-based stations or popular playlists in the main Spotify application. You can add or remove artists, rename or delete stations, and include or exclude similar artists. Do not forget that you can not add artists to stations based on Spotify playlists.

This is not the only problem I have encountered with the Spotify Stations app. You can not change the quality of the music as you can in the Spotify main application, nor slide up on the song being played for more information. This means that you are limited to small media controls – there is no rewind button, but you have access to the thumbs up, thumb down, pause and next track buttons – at the bottom when the app is open.

Strange weird with the application Spotify Stations.

Not confusing at all.

In addition, the Spotify Notifications Reader appears alongside the Station Notifications Player if the old application is open in the background. A simple solution is to close the Spotify app in the background, but it's just something to watch for.

Even with these peculiarities, Stations is a good app to try if you are a Spotify fan. The application is visually minimalist but informative and it memorizes your progress in a station when you hover over them.
