Adding songs to radio stations

I have created a station on iTunes based around a particular artist. After listening a few times to the selections offered, I added four songs by similar artists. T I clicked on the + button to add songs, artists or genres, did a search for the artists I wanted to add, and clicked on one of the songs in the list that was presented. The selected songs were added to my "play more like this" list. I have listened to that station several times since taking these actions, but I have yet to hear any of the selected songs or any others by those artists. Does it take several sessions to work these into the mix? Did I miss a step? Or is there some other gremlin at work in the system?

You can add stations but they will not be listed under Radio.
iTunes menu Advanced -> Open stream and paste the link for the stream. This will add to iTunes.
Then create a new playlist called Radio (or whatever) and drag the stream from Music to this playlist.

  • When trying to download free song from radio station web page it makes me log in to redeem a code not sure what i need to do

    I am trying to download a free song from a radio station web page.  it redirects me to the itunes store but once there it wants me to log in to redeem a code which i don't have.  Not sure what I need to do from here to fix this

    In Safari, control-click the link and choose Download Linked File. Alternatively, click on the address bar when it's displaying the MP3's URL and press the Option and Return keys simultaneously.

  • Can't find 'top songs of radio stations' lists

    A long time ago, I was browsing iTunes and I came across listings of top played songs by local radio stations. You could browse by location and the radio station frequency. It was a very helpful feature since I hear a lot of songs I love on the radio and would like to purchase them. Does this feature still exist? I can not find it anywhere in iTunes or in the iTunes store. If it does, how do I get to it?

    Here's a few websites...

  • Adding Fav Radio Station to iTunes

    I understand that only Apple can add a radio station to their "radio" section...why?
    I also understand that it is possible to add our fav radio station to our playlist.
    Having some trouble adding our college radio station to iTunes.
    The URL I use for Windows Media Player is:
    http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/wqun_am.asx
    Anyway I can listen to this via iTunes.

    I just was trying to add a radio station according to the terse instructions on http://www.kdvs.org/listen/
    The iTunes online help declares, "You can't record or save a song from a radio broadcast, but you can add your favorite stations to your library or to a playlist so that you can tune in easily."
    Finally found a way that worked. Once playing in iTunesI tried to drag and drop the icon into Radio. Logical, no? Would't work. The link stays in the Music Library and will not be moved. How in the heck is a continuous radio stream considered a music entity??? Dumb.

  • Can I add radio stations to iTunes?

    Thanks Ryan, but how in the name of our dear lord in heaven do I add a radio station to a smart playlist.
    All I have is the URL:
    http://www.garnierstreamingmedia.com/asx/radio538.asp
    So no drag+drop.

    Baltimore, Maryland Yes, you can add radio stations to iTunes. However, you cannot add the radio stations to the “Radio” source in the source list. You only have the ability to add radio stations into the “Library” source.
    You can always make a Smart Playlist, though, and name it something such as “My Radio Stations” or a name of your choice. What this will do is organize all of your personal radio stations that are not listed in the "Radio" source and create easy access and some organization to your downloaded internet radio stations in iTunes. To find internet radio stations, here are a few links:
    • DDance.FM Digital Dance Radio
    • Macstreams/Rogue Amoeba
    • Live365.com
    • UK Radio Stations
    • Shoutcast
    • Radio-Locator (not the best for locating online radio feeds)
    There are other sites, of course. When you go to these sites, you will see lists of internet radio stations. To get the station of your choice into iTunes, you will need to download either the .pls, .m3u, or .mp3 file from that station. Once the file has downloaded, find it on your computer and double-click it. This should open iTunes. Note: XM Radio Online will not work for this. If it ever does work, I will update this. Sorry! If not, drag the file into iTunes Library and it will import into your library. Now, onto organizing and creating the Smart Playlist of your internet radio stations.
    To create a Smart Playlist based on the internet radio stations you have downloaded, go to File > New Smart Playlist. A window will appear asking you for information. Make sure the “Match the following condition:” box is checked. From the first drop down menu, choose “Kind.” From the second drop down menu, choose “is”. To the right of that is a blank field where you can enter in what kind of file you wish to have in this Smart Playlist. You will want to add “MPEG audio stream” (without quotes) in that field.
    Lastly, check the box that says “Live Updating” which will update your Smart Playlist of radio stations when you add more stations to your library. Then whenever you want to listen to your favorite radio station, you can click on that Smart Playlist in the source list and you will see all the internet radio stations you have added to iTunes.
    Enjoy the music!
    Note: There is no way of adding an internet radio station to the "Radio" source list in iTunes. Contacting Apple more than likely won't yield a response, but you can list your station on Shoutcast, Live365, RogueAmoeba (links listed above) to be seen and heard by listeners worldwide.
    iTunes does not support Windows Media Player format or Real Player One format, so those streams cannot be played through iTunes and must be played through their respective applications.

    I read the answer to this question and appreciated the information, but where on the web do you find the sources that were listed - namely:
    • DDance.FM Digital Dance Radio
    • Macstreams/Rogue Amoeba
    • Live365.com
    • UK Radio Stations
    • Shoutcast
    • Radio-Locator (not the best for locating online radio feeds)
    I would like to add internet stations, too, but don't know how to find the stations.

  • Suddenly my Radio stations don't play.

    I have 3 radio stations that I enjoy playing using iTunes on my Mac. Suddenly they no longer work. I have 6 others. Same deal.  These stations are in a special folder under "Playlists".
    Did something change?  How can I get them back?
    Thanks for any advice you may offer.
    Greg

    I added a dozen radio stations to a playlist last week. They worked fine for a few days. I tried today and they won't play. Stations in Radio Library play fine, and if I add the same station to my playlist, that one will play fine.
    Also annoying: I cannot display the stream name in my playlist, and the name changes when I add it from the Radio Library, so it's difficult to find the same station again to re-add.

  • ITune radio stations don't play

    On my Mac many of the listed radio stations don't have a program playing. Is there a reason why?

  • Saving Favorites in Radio Stations

    I don't see a way to save favorite radio stations in the Help menu. Can someone assist? I think you should be able to right click the radio station and somehow "TAG" the station. Is this correct?

    Hello RoseFitz,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I don't see a way to save favorite radio stations in the Help menu. Can someone assist? I think you should be able to right click the radio station and somehow "TAG" the station. Is this correct?
    First of all, is this a question related to iTunes? If so, you may want to post these questions (meaning related to iTunes) over in the iTunes forum. You may find much more help there.
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149
    As to your question though, this is not possible. You can tag songs from Radio stations though as described in this article.

    Hope this helps.

  • How do you get Itunes to go the free radio station list, I'm not talkiing about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that lists about 50 diffrent genes.

    How do you get Itunes to go to the free radio station list, I'm not talking about the one that lists the price next to the song that's playing, I'm talking about the one that gives you 50 diffrent genes to select from?

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    But answering quickly, if you mean the streaming stations, click the Internet item:
    If you don't see that item, checkmark "Internet Radio" in the General preferences in iTunes.

  • How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.

    How do I remove an unwanted toolbar?  I added a radio station to my ibook and it set up its own toolbar so when I go to Safari I have to use it.  It involves using Bing for everything as well.  It's very annoying and I want to remove it.  I can't just type in a URL and have it go to the site.  It takes me to all of Bing's choices.  Also, when it anticipates what I'm typing (incorrectly) and I have to delete it's guesses all the time.  Can anyone help?

    Have you looked at Safari's menu bar > view> toolbars to see if it can be unchecked from there,also see if there is a button to collapse the toolbar on the bar itself.

    You can create an App store account without a credit card, however that won't help you with updating your previous purchases. Apps are DRM protected, and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. There is no way to overcome this DRM protection or transfer them to another account(Itunes support can if you contact them). If you want to create an App store account without a credit card, follow the directions here, but bear in mind the DRM protection mentioned. If you use this account to download free apps, you will have to use this same account for all future updates:
