Finding/copying/saving a stream's url from iTunes

How can I find and copy or save a stream's url? For example, I'm listening to a radio sation now (in iTunes). I want to find the stream's url and copy it into an email. Why? So that when I send the email, the recipient can just click the link from within the email and listen to what I am listening to. Clicking "info" after highlighting the radio station in iTunes, I see the "where" information at the bottom of the info pane (summary tab). This is the stream url correct? Why can't I highlight it and copy/paste it. I don't want to have to re-type that entire string. Also, is there a folder in which all the .pls files reside? Maybe I could just find that and copy/paste that into an email. I know when you first open a stream, a .pls file is put on my Mac somewhere. I just want to email a link to a stream for easy access for the recipient. Thank you for your help. michael

Select the radio station you are listening to and drag it to the desktop.
This will create a .webloc file.
Doubleclick on the .weblock file.
This will open an 'empty' page in Safari and download the .pls file.
After the .pls file has dowloaded, it will open the stream in the Library and start playing.
This works for most stations.
You could mail the .pls file and ask if it works on the computer of the recipient. I can't tell you that from my own experience.
The .pls files are not stored separately on your Mac, but probably stored inside the 'iTunes Library' file (which is not human readable).
Hope this helps.

I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

I have copied my CDs into iTunes (currently running v11) to play on my iPod. I have now bought a non Apple mp3 player to use when I am out running. How can I copy the many tracks I want from iTunes onto the new player?

I tried Notpod but can't get it to work. Part of the problem, I suspect, is that I can't create a folder on my player (a SanDisk Clip+). I also can't do this in Windows Explorer. Whilst I can see the Clip+ in Explorer, the option to create a new folder isn't there.
The error mesag I get in Notpod is:
"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit the application will close immediately.
InvalidArgument=Value of '0' is not valid for 'SelctedIndex'. Parameter name: SelectedIndex"
Then, when I plug the Clip+ into a USB port, iTunes thinks it is my iPad - which is because, I guess, Notpod hasn't worked.
I can drag and drop files from the Music folder where my iTunes tracks are stored onto the Clip+ and they get converted but I'd rather synchronise a Playlist from iTunes if I can.
Thanks anyone who can help

My ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. does not happen with any other streaming video service.

my ipad streaming purchased video from itunes stops every few seconds. This does not happen with any other streaming video service. I have restarted and rebooted already.

I've tried both things, but video still stutters.. Have also tried removing profile, and complete reinstall of firefox.
I'm on 24 Mbit cable and the only user atm. IE and Chrome seems to work without stuttering.
I've having this stuttering every ~5th second, like a small "1/4 sec buffering".

Well, if you didn't keep it in your iTunes library, on your computer, & then back that data up, you're out of luck if it's no longer available in the App store.
Apple warns to backup your purchases for this very reason.

WHen I put music onto my devices I will have some songs that will play, while others will be grey and can not be played....also I find that when I purchase an album from iTunes all songs from the album will not be downloaded...

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

If necessary
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Streaming video playlist from iTunes = ATV = TV

I expect this question has been asked, but I could find any specific answers with a search.
Does ATV allow video playlist streaming from iTunes to a TV? I would like to confirm that this capability exists before a purchase. Objective is to have my computer's iTunes feed a TV via ATV for a extended period of time (~8hrs) by playing a video playlist.
Thanks in advance

Thanks to you both for your comments. Disappointing that a feature that exists (video playlists) on the Classic iPods doesn't exist on the ATV yet. Guess I'll wait until it does.
Join the queue....
Video playlists is an often requested feature for those of us who want to watch random music videos or for those who want to use the device to display a consecutive selection or repeating selection of videos.
No harm in sending feedback here, specifying you are not buying it as it doesn't have the feature:

Help! Please I can't copy any songs onto my ipod from itunes.

Hi, My ipod syncs Ok, but won't copy songs onto my ipod from itunes. I've tried downloading the latest software, but getting nowhere. Any advice would be greatly appreiciated.

Try restoring your iPod. Restoring will erase the iPod's hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings. Once the restore is complete follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like: Restoring iPod to factory settings with iTunes 7

That sounds like it will work. I'll try adding a client count
increment/decrement in the DLL initialize and terminate functions. This
should essentially perform the same tasks as the callback scheme you mention
above, no?
The reason I didn't think the 'client counting' scheme would work initially
was I mistakenly thought that the termination function would not get called
under Terminate conditions. Since Terminate conditions happen a LOT during
our initial debug of new UUT types, I didn't think that would be acceptable.
I forgot that lacing the terminate funciton in a cleanup step group, I can
force it to be called in Terminate conditions.

Streaming HD movies from Itunes to Apple TV 2

Hello all,
I am having an issue streaming HD (m4v) movies from iTunes to my Apple TV 2. First off, I am able to stream Netflix flawlessly using my Apple TV. The HD Movies from ITunes glitches\lags every 20-25 seconds. Here is my setup.
Router: Apple Airport Extreme, using 5ghz band
Laptop: Macbook Pro
Any suggestions? I have tried turning off Dolby Digital in the Apple TV Settings, but did not help.
Thanks,
Dustin

I was having the same error. I switched Audio Language to default and Dolby Digital to 'on' and I finally can see the video, but with no sound...
I tried MKVTools and Handbrake, AC3 passthru for audio on both, iTunes plays nice, but Apple TV doesn't. Any other solution?

Cant stream video sound from ITunes to stereo via Airport Express

I'm using a PC with wireless (Centrino 802.11g) with Itunes (Latest release 7.0.0.70) and for some reason the sound from Itunes video will not stream wirelessly to my stereo connected to my AirPort Express.
When the video is embedded in an Itunes playlist of MP3s, the sound will work fine through the AirPort Express with the MP3 tracks, but will toggle over to the PC speakers for the video.
Any ideas gratefully received?

Airtunes actually only support MP3/AAC audio streaming from iTunes. That's too bad for video.
The things is, even with other Airtunes streaming software, the streaming delay is such that the song will be off by a few second from the video. I guess Apple have choose to do not stream video sound until this may be resolve.
Therefore, I'm not aware of any solution to this issue.

Streaming audiophile quality from iTunes - mac hardware limitations?

I listen to a lot of classical music and have recently been experimenting with commercial 24 bit/96 kHz and 24 bit/192 kHz FLAC files converted and imported into iTunes using Max, as AIFF or Apple lossless files (there are some recent issues apparently related to Snow Leopard that make this a bit more clunky than it was, discussed in the Max forum)
The files are appropriately huge (9000+kbs for AIFF 96/192 files) which should keep all the bats and dogs in the neighbourhood happy if I had the appropriate gear for playing it. I have recently been looking at various hardware (Naim and Linnwood most recently) but their dedicated ways of playing back the music are very clunky if you are used to iTunes - i have no wish to change.
However It is possible to directly stream digital (at a max of 24/96 for Naim and 24/192 for Linnwood which looks good - with the very minor disadvantage of no display of track info on the units themselves.
But this raises several questions:
1) What are the hardware limits for digital out on modern macs (the computers, not iPhones or iPods) - can they really stream 24bit at 96 or 192 kbs? Or do they downscale, to 24/48 (i think) like the Squeezebox?
2) I believe that anything over 24/48 is not very practical over wireless (and I already know that Airport express in any case has a limit of CD quality 16 bit). Of the alternatives, eithernet is possible with some sound systems and presumably distance between computer and music system is not likely to be a problem. But - question 2 - are there practical limits on distance for wire and/or optical digital connections from computer digital out to sound system?
Cheers
Malcolm

You don't mean kb/s - this is the bitrate, used with formats such as MP3 where the bitrate can be specified. You mean the sampling rate, which is specified in kHz. 192 kb/s is pretty mediocre quality for stereo. The bitrate for CD quality is 705.6 kb/s, for 96 kHz 24-bit is 2.3 Mb/s - these are dependent on the sampling rate and bit depth and are not further configurable, so are not usually quoted for uncompressed audio. (An actual CD has a higher bitrate because of the extra bits required for the strong error correction.)
CD quality is 44.1 kHz; 96kHz is the usual maximum. The maximum setting in Audio-MIDI Setup on my 2008 iMac is 96 kHz 24-bit. I'm not in a position to test how this works with iTunes.
But - question 2 - are there practical limits on distance for wire and/or optical digital connections from computer digital out to sound system?
I have an optical lead running 10 metres and a coax lead running around 9 metres with perfectly good results. You can get optical splitters and converters which can be used to extend a lead: I've not experimented to find out how long a lead will go before the audio starts to break up., though I would expect a coax lead to go quite a long distance if it's good quality cable.
