I am once again begging you, if u must stream music, to consider any of the competitors from the chart below that pay artists better than Spotify. "According to a shocking new book, Spotify has been promoting so-called 'ghost artists' so it can avoid paying its piddling royalties to real artists":

Hey so if you still use Spotify: Streaming services are bad for artists but have you noticed yours is *the worst*?? Their rates are consistently under everyone AND for 85% of the music on the platform they don't pay out at all. Tidal, Deezer, Napster, Apple pay 2-3 times as much. Qobuz is like 4x.

In my experience, Tidal is a 100% replacement for Spotify functionality-wise EXCEPT the IOT support is not as good. The phone apps are at parity tho. Also: - Audio quality is better - Recs are slightly better. *Daily* song recs used to be better, now they are worse; daily album recs still good.

Yes, but there's not a named feature for it. It is simply the case if you play any single track by itself, after the track ends, it launches into a song radio. IME not *every* song has a song radio— very rarely, I've seen it not. I guess on songs too obscure to have data. But EVERY album has one.
