Spotify experiments with playlist-streaming app

The streaming giant has launched ‘Stations’, an ad-supported free app allowing you to listen to its own curated playlists and personalised stations based on your music tastes.

The idea is that Stations links to your Spotify account and serves up its curated playlists – such as ‘Discover Weekly’ and ‘Release Radar’ – alongside your own.

It only allows the user to switch between playlists, play and pause songs. Songs can also be favourited, so "as you listen, it learns what you like and creates personalised stations that you’ll love,” promises the Spotify Station description in the Google Play store.

Stations is free to download and use - as per usual, Spotify Premium subscribers won’t be subject to adverts.
