Before we get started, let’s have a moment of silence for Spotify Stations.

Compared to the regular Spotify app, Spotify Stations offered a simpler way to play customizable internet radio stations. Just by picking an artist or genre, you could jump directly into a relevant playlist of songs. The app also let you tweak each station by adding more of your preferred artists, and you could swipe up or down to quickly switch between the stations you’d created.
