Hi,

really love the client. However, I really miss the ability to play artist / album / track radios. To me these are really one of the top spotify features, and it would be nice if these could be added.

Thanks!

Hi @tobiasrenkin, great to hear that you like spotify-player. The app does support play artist / album / track radios. You can do this by select an artist / album / track item, trigger ShowActionsOnSelectedItem (bind to g a by default) then select BrowseRecommendations action. A radio page is then generated using get-recommendations API.

This radio page is kinda different from what you have in the official app in a way that it's a radio playlist with finite songs (50 max) while the official one is an "infinite" list.

OK thanks that works!

Still, it would be great to have a better way to play an album or artist radio. Most of the time I am in the context view, for example for an Album. What you suggest gives recommendations based on a song, not on an album or an artist. To get that, I need to go back to the search page, search for the Album or Artist that is already playing and then trigger the action on that result.

Yeah, you're absolutely right :). I realized that recently and will work on an improvement soon.

@tobiasrenkin implemented new features in https://github.com/aome510/spotify-player/pull/92. Either you can try the latest build of master branch or wait for new release, which should be coming soon.

Now, the app supports all track, album, artist, playlist radios like Spotify. In addition, spotify-player now uses different APIs that allow the recommended tracks shown up in the radio page similar to what of the official Spotify app.

I also added several GoTo...Radio actions for each Spotify item type, so you won't need to go back to search page to trigger an action.
