How Stations Work
Section titled “How Stations Work”Each station is an infinite stream of tracks selected by Rotor:
- The provider requests a batch of tracks from the Rotor API for the selected station.
- With each track play, feedback is sent (start / end / skip) — Rotor improves the next recommendations.
- When a batch ends, the next one is loaded automatically.
- Each station maintains independent state — you can listen to different stations from different accounts simultaneously.
