When you’ve started the station, hit the 3 dots to the right of the track name, scroll down and you’ll see “add station to my sonos”

You should also be able to even better (I don't have Spotify so can't verify) - when you go into Spotify and choose favorite radio stations. You'll be looking then at list of favorite stations. In the top right corner their should be a ... Choose that and hit add to My Sonos. That should create a new category group in My Sonos showing all your favorite Spotify stations.

When in Sonos favorites you can chose edit at the top and actually move that category to the top of the list if you would like it to be the most accessible from My Sonos.

Ok so I signed up for Spotify since its .99 for 3 months.

There are no Spotify radio stations within the Sonos app.

If it is in the stand alone Spotify application your talking about you can't add things from the actual real Spotify app into Sonos favorites.

What you can do is open up the radio you want in Spotify - which appears is really just a dynamic playlist.

Scroll down in radio listing to load up hundreds of songs for that radio station.

Then at top click on add to Playlist. It will create it then as a Spotify playlist.

Then you can actually go into the Sonos app in Spotify and you will see it as a playlist in Spotify. You can then hit the ... top right corner if you want that playlist permanently on the my sonos screen.

But as it appears, and I'm not a Sonos expert, the Spotify stations are just randomly created playlists. To get the random nature of a radio station you have to do it in the actual Spotify app. But they can be exported then as static playlists with hundereds of songs that can then be played in sonos app.

If your listening to a song using Spotify via the sonos app, you can listen to the station that’s linked to that particular song for genre etc. Then you can add it to sonos favourites

But if your using the Spotify app to control Sonos I'm not sure why you want them in the My Sonos portion of Sonos app (being your using the Spotify app direct).
