Spotify Radio gets thumbs up, thumbs down on desktop

[![Spotify Radio gets thumbs up, thumbs down on desktop][1] ][2]

Pretty much from day one, the [mobile][3] [Spotify Radio][4] feature outclassed its [desktop counterpart][5], thanks to the presence of one feature -- thumbs up and thumbs down buttons. The ability to more finely tailor the music selection to your tastes is a pretty essential feature for any automatically generated playlist. Finally, [Spotify][6] is bringing the buttons to the Mac and Windows clients in an update rolling out today. Your likes and dislikes are synced across platforms and, best of all, the update finally lets you view radio stations you've created through the mobile app on your desktop.
