adding new artists to my exsisting custom stations possible?

Postby magnum4ce on Fri Oct 23, 2009 9:59 am

Is there a way to do this? obviously its been awhile since I've added new artists to my stations. apparently something has changed on the web player and that option is no longer available? ( i sure hope not!) Can someone in the KNOW please help me out with this issue? am i not seeing a tab or is there a a step I'm missing?

currently when i have my custom station on, I click on the "customize" tab and the next screen that comes up has NOTHING to add a new artist.

when i am on my custom station, the SEARCH tab is there. when i type in a artist name and am shown a list of artists to pick from that come close to my typed in artist name. I then pick the one I requested and immediately on a screen with a NEW station named after THAT requested artist. argh!!!

I want to add this artist to my ALREADY created custom station. But i can find away to do it.

Please help! is this not an option anymore?

If you have a custom station already, then click on the Customize Tab for that station from the Now Playing Screen.

Then on the tab that says "Request Music" there's a search box. Type the name of the artist you want to add into that box. Then, if there is more than one search result, pick the artist you want. Then click on the "Heart" icon next to the artist in the right hand box. You can add other artists to your station by clicking on the "Heart" icon in that list, or you can search for artists not in that list (that list is related artists to the one you just searched on). And you can go through and keep adding artists by searching and clicking on the Heart.

Once you are done, make sure you save your station. If you want to see the artists you have added to your station (or artists you have banned), then click on Customize and go to the "Edit Station" tab and on the right side is the artists on this station box. Any artists that you hearted should be in the list. If you had less than 15 artists, then there will be some related artists that we had to add in order to meet the DMCA rules for Online Radio, but you can remove them as long as you have added more artists to your station so that we have enough artists to meet those rules.

I've done that, but every time I try to save the changes I am asked to provide a name for a new station. I don't want a new station.
