Can't play Internet Radio

Hi,
Previously, when I wanted to stream a radio station over the Internet, I just clicked on the link and a new tab opened with a "Play" button on the bottom of the page. I could then play the broadcast with no problem.
Now, for whatever reason, when I click the link to stream radio my iMac downloads some file with the extension ".asx.asf" and nothing happens. I've tried opening this downloaded file, but my iMac asks me to choose an application with which to open it. iTunes is apparently the default app, but I've been wrestling with iTunes trying to get it to play the file, but no luck.
As I said, everything used to work fine, but now this problem arose. Any help is appreciated. This happens with whatever radio station I try to stream, not one particular station.
Thanks,
Mark.

I have the same problem as huyt78. Incredibly annoying as I live abroad and signed up for my home Football club's radio broadcasts only to find a few weeks later it doesn't work any more! Flip4Mac doesn't work for me either. How do I listen to Internet Radio? Someone please help.
Thanks,
G

Can i play internet radio through my airport to my stereo?

Can i play internet radio through my airport to my stereo? ps I am not very technical so easy answers would be appreciated.
Thanks

For the block party we just had I was doing just that. I already had a wireless network in my house so what I did was connected an Airport Express to my wireless network in my garage. The Airport Express has an audio jack on it. To this jack, I connected my amp and speakers down in the garage. I was then able to connect iTunes to the speakers over the wireless network.
One additional benefit was that using the Remote app on my iPhone I was able to control my iTunes remotely from the garage to change music from downstairs.
It all worked like a charm.

Can I play Internet Radio from I phone?

Im thinking of purchasing an apple i phone and i was wondering if I could use the internet to play my favorite internet radio stations.

not that i know to sorry but if you search on google you might find something however if there is nothing try going to an apple store and having a play about on one of you favorite stations and see if any work.

I have synced my macbook pro with new bluetooth speakers and can successfully play internet radio music from my macbook through bluetooth. However I cannot get my iTunes library playing through the bluetooth speakers. Can anyone help?

my macbook pro is successfully linked to bluetooth speakers and I can stream music from the macbook through the speakers. Except for iTunes. iTunes will not allow me to select the bluetooth, only 'computer speakers' or 'apple tv'. I can stream my iTunes library from my iPhone and iPad through these speakers, but not from the MacBook's iTunes. Is there an easy solution?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

Why is iTunes freezing (dreaded beach ball!) whenever I've played internet radio for a while, say 20mins or longer?

So, after a period of playing internet radio (various stations), the station stops and I find then that iTunes has frozen with the beach ball spinning.
I'm hoping that someone in the community can provide some advice.
Here's the start of the latest force quit report I've sent to apple:

Hard to say. It sounds like things are pretty scrambled. What happens is the free space that is left is fragmented into thousands of different places on the drive. So any disc writing activity takes super long and locks things up.
I would recommend posting on the MBP thread http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1149&start=0 This is more of a system rescue problem than an itunes issue.
Good luck, Matt.

How can i play w radio on my n8?

i can not play this radio station (w radio)
can anyone help me please?

Can you give us some further details please?
For example:
What exact issues are you getting?
Are you trying to listen over FM, DAB or an internet radio app?
If it's an internet radio app is it a case of it fails to play or is it just not available in the list of stations?

Apple TV frequently stops playing Internet radio

GGet an Error message. I read that iTunes doesn't buffer. I can play Internet radio all day without interruption from tunein radio or another radio app on my ipad and AirPlay it through Apple tv. Sorry that the Apple TV is kind of "junkie" in that it doesn't buffer. Surprised that a free app is better thought out than something I paid about $100.

A lot of people have reported this with the latest software, you may need to wait for a fix.

ITunes not recognise iPod if playing Internet Radio

Anyone had this since iTunes 6.0.5 update and also the iPod update last week. If have Internet radio playing in iTunes and you connect your iPod the Mac recognises it, however iTunes doesn't see it. I know this used to work as I pretty much always have a net radio station of some sort playing when on my Mac.
I would submit it as a Bug but no idea if you can.

Appears to be fixed in recent versions

Playing internet radio through airport to my stereo?

I play itunes through airport to my stereo. Can I play my internet radio station through airport?
Thanks,
Ernie

I'm curious about this as I am sure I was able to play a radio station streaming through iTunes to my AX the other day. I tried this evening and it didn't work. I was able to play a song ripped by iTunes, and switched back to the streaming radio which did play through my computer speakers, but not to the AX.
I know AX won't play video clips (sound) from iTunes....
So, I think I figured it out- AirTunes will play MPEG based streaming audio through the AX, but will not play streams with "Kind" being QuickTime. Unfortunate that my two favorite stations are both QT streamed audio, and these were the two I kept trying to get to work when I thought the problem was the AX or the stereo it was plugged into.
This also explains why I was getting audio through my computer even when it was not selected in iTunes, it only happens when the QT audio can't play through the AirTunes.
Any further thoughts or work arounds for this?
Funny, I found nothing about this in my searches regarding this problem (other than video clip's audio won't play and require Airfoil).

IPod speaker/dock that can wirelessly stream internet radio from our Apple TV?

Our Apple TV 2 is downstairs. I use it to listen to internet radio streams all day. I'd love a speaker system for upstairs that can dock and play iPods, but also stream internet radio from the Apple TV downstairs. Does such a product exist? TIA for any pointers.

Your church services presumably have a specific internet address which you view in a browser?
If so and you have a fairly new iMac you could start playback on the iMac in a browser and use Airplay Mirroring to send a 'copy' of what is on-screen to your TV using AppleTV to display it. The same would apply to modern iPhones (4s and later) and newer iPads provided the phone can play them in a browser (maybe not if the stream id Flash based).
AirPlay Mirroring
Requires a second-generation Apple TV or later. Supports the following Mac models:
iMac (Mid 2011 or newer)
Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer)
AppleTV does not have an internet browser. It is primarily a device to play content from your local iTunes library or from iTunes store via the internet (purchases or rentals). It does have certain 'channels' like YouTube, Netflix etc which you are probably not interested in.
AppleTV needs to be connected to the same network as the iMac.
If your iMac is too old for Airplay Mirroring, something like AirParrot might work in software.

Playing internet radio app on 4S over MB audio system

I have an iPhone 4S and ran an internet radio app on it. Then I connected the phone with the ausio system of my 2011 MB E550. For about 2 seconds I could hear the radio station over the car speakers but then the phone switched to the ipod app. I could not switch back to the radio app neither was I able to stop the playing song on the phone since the desplay would not allow me to actually go into the ipod app while connected to the car audio system.
Why is this and is there a way to make the phone play the internet radio station?
The fact that I heard the radio station for about 2 seconds tells me that it generally is possible but then there must be something in the iphone software which makes it flip to the ipod. Can this be bridged without sacrificing the phone's warranty?

I'm not saying that this is your problem but it could potentially be and needs to be corrected. After making the corrections as stated below test and let us know if things improve.
If your DHCP range is 2 to 254 that means the whole range of addresses can be assigned to dynamically. This can cause problems because you haven't left any addresses available to be assigned statically. You will notice that addresses 90 and 100 are within that range.
Set the DHCP range to 250 to 254. That reserves an range of 50 addresses for use by the DHCP. You don't need to make any changes to the IP addresses of the PC or Express as their addresses will now fall outside the range reserved for DHCP.
