When I try to start a new station it just does nothing…
I know that you guys must have all your bets on ios but c'mon, "some of us" still work on osx machines. Put a little more QA people on the desktop version, please(?).
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)
Re-authorizing my computer definitely worked! As d3gard mentioned go to "Account" > "Authorizations" > "Authorize this Computer..." and say yes. Most likely you have maxed out your authorized devices and booted your current device off. The OP should mark this thread solved if this worked for you too to help others in the future.

I had the same issue and it was resolved after authorisation in iTunes.
Account > Authorizations > Authorize This Computer...
This worked, Thank you.
Yeah you're not alone buddy, and its not only for osx i cannot start the radio from song or artist on ios 8 nor ios 9.
Also there are no rock radio stations for me it only says rock but no stations only mexican rock
My guess here is that if your'e not from the U.S. or UK apple music does not include all the feautres, i hope in the future it will.
But it's all guessing, i'd like to hear an official communicate form Apple or something, i tried to mention them on a tweet but didn't get any answers....
I'm in the US and having the same issue with Indie artists who ARE on iTunes.
Same issue here, signed up for 3 month trial "Start station from..." works in iPhone but not on Mac does nothing! UK running 10.10.5
If you play a song there is always three little dots or periods next to the title, like this ... Click on this icon and you can select "New Station From Artist" or "New Station From Song". This selection icon is there in all of your music such as "My Music", "For You", "Radio", etc. Is that what you are asking?
As a follow up. Once you select "New Station From Artist" you can then go to "Radio" and the station will be there.
No man, this is how it is supposed to work, but it doesn't, if I click in the ellipsis and then "new station…" it just stops the playback and then nothing. Apparently I'm not the only one having this issue.
No. The issue is that when you start a new station from a song or artist it stops playing the song and says "unknown title". This only happens on the desktop version. If I try the same song on my iPad or Phone it starts a station just fine (same account etc). I'm not the only one with this issue either, seems to be common! Fact is Apple Music is totally pointless without this feature! After the 3 months I'll stick with Spotify, Shame as I was starting to be turned!
Ok I can confirm that Mobile Blues solution works:
> As a follow up. Once you select "New Station From Artist" you can then go to "Radio" and the station will be there.
However, this is not what should to happen, if you click on the little dot and "click start new station from"... it should just start playing the station, as it does on my iPad. I can live with the hack above, bit of a pain but works on the desktop app.:)
In my case it doesn't even do that 😟
I feel that Apple tried to apply the Lean Startup philosophy but forget to read the word "startup" in first instance.
Same here. I was hoping after some time it would be fixed. What I'm thinking is that it's a software glitch that is storing bad song profiles on our devices. Pioular artists stations work just fine, but most of the Indie artists won't work for me. I can start as station based on Rita Ora, but not say Kayla Jay. And I bought both from iTunes.
Didn't work for me!
I confirm the workaround: station starts playing after I toggle the radio tab.
I can't start a station by song nor by artist in Apple Music for Mac.
