Services like Spotify is constantly testing new features. Sometimes these tests take the form of standalone apps that may or may not remain available for too long. That’s exactly what happened with one of Spotify’s earlier tests involving radio stations. Originally introduced in 2018, the Spotify Stations app will be shutting down this month. Users of the app have already received emails informing them of Spotify’s decision to close Stations on May 16. Techjourno Jared Newman posted on Twitter the email he received from Spotify this week:
First of all, we would like to thank you for being a user of Spotify Stations, the beta app we tested. We have decided not to extend the rollout of this experience and we would like to inform you that as of May 16, 2022, the Stations app and web player will no longer be available. Don’t worry, you can still listen to your favorite stations.
