I see, thanks for explaining , @RCR1223 ! I think there may be some confusion between how Stations work and how the AutoPlay feature functions. I'll be happy to clarify. In general, when you create a personalized station or listen to a curated station, it is automatically added to your collection so you can listen to it again later and save your preferences. However, based on what you described, it sounds like you might prefer using the AutoPlay feature instead. AutoPlay is active only for a single listening session and will not save the content to your Collection afterward. Let me elaborate on this: When you search for a song, you can either select Play or Create Station.
Create Station: Stations are designed for repeated listening and adapt to your taste over time, so, when you tap Create Station, a new Personalized Station is automatically added to your collection. Any thumbs-up or thumbs-down feedback you give on this station will shape your listening experience for that specific station, allowing you to return to it anytime.
Play + AutoPlay: If you tap Play instead, your selected song will play. Once it ends, the AutoPlay feature takes over, automatically queueing related songs based on that initial track. Any feedback you provide during an AutoPlay session adjusts only that current session, and nothing from the session will be added to your collected items.
Now, it looks like you have a Curated Station so I would like to make a nore on this topic too: Curated Stations stations specially crafted by our curation teams based on specific moods, activities, or genres—such as the 80s station you mentioned previously. When you press play on a Curated Station, it is automatically saved to your Collection so you can easily find it again. If you prefer not to add stations to your Collection, the best approach is to search for a specific song, press Play, and let AutoPlay handle the rest of your session. Now, if you are trying to start a song and when you press Play, instead of playing the song it creates a brand new station I will need you to please share the name of the song you are trying to play and if you can, please take a screenshot of what's happening and upload it on this thread so I can check that.
