Icecast2 to iTunes Radio list?

Hi All I have an icecast server running for a local radio station, and everything is working fine with our stream. I have a flash player(evil I know) for listeners on the site, and the direct link so they can listen with iTunes or on an iOS device , and that's all working fine. However we have submitted the station to iTunes radio list and It now shows up in the list, but when clicked it just hangs at "Getting Playlist". I had originally submitted the mount point for the stream witch is streaming.freefireradio.com:8000/kcnr1460.mp3 but when they listed that and it didn't work (Along with some other mistakes in listing) I sent an update request explaining the problem and giving the same information and asking if it should be a playlist instead and I said if that was the case to use streaming.freefireradio.com:8000/kcnr1460.mp3.m3u but when they updated they did still use the .mp3 mount point and then said I should contact my system administrator. Well I'm it and I have no clue what I should do different, Someone give me a clue as to something I should check in my icecast.xml config or something? Does iTunes radio just hate icecast? If anone has any better free solutions they know work with iTunes radio list let me know.

You would need to send an email to: [email protected]
They'll want the name of the stream, a description, bitrate, and contact information, as well as a URL to the .pls file.
They only support MP3 streams at this time. There are no public plans to support any other format (AAC) at this time. Which is kinda silly... but it's their software.

Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
Any App or plug-in that does that?
Many thanks

Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

This my sound too simple, but I just kept clikning on the arrow next to the selected music and it finally "Kicked" in.

ITunes Radio completely asleep at the switch

An existing iTunes Radio broadcaster told me he emailed in a request for changes to his broadcast many months ago, and there was neither implementation nor even any response to his email.
It seems pretty clear that Apple has discontinued any further work on iTunes Radio. They are completely and utterly alseep at the switch over there.

There are several threads on this topic in the forums and it appears that Apple may not actually be the ones maintaining the list of stations. I'm not sure I buy that completely, but it may be the case.
I agree that iTunes Radio is seriously neglected, yet is a very useful feature. I personally use iTunes Radio on an almost daily basis and I love it.
I not only hope that Apple continues with iTunes radio, but they add features. I would like to see an option to allow end users (like me) we be able to broadcast a selected playlist right from their computers out over the net and have it show up in the iTunes radio list.

Add radio station to the radio list?

Hi,
I have my own radio station, I would like to list it on iTunes radio list, how do I go about this?
Thanks in advance,
Neil

There is no mechanism for getting a station added to the iTunes Tuner list. No one outside of Apple knows who's running the server that maintains the list since 3Com shut down Kerbango, the previous host of the list, and for some unknown reason Apple has not provided any way of contacting the current provider or administrator for making changes or additions.
I can only guess why this is the case; perhaps Apple doesn't want to bog iTunes down with potentially a huge list of stations (there are after all hundreds if not thousands of iTunes-compatible streams available) and so only provides a sampling.
You might want to consider listing your station through Live 365 or ShoutCast or another such streaming service. That would get it to the attention of a lot of people.

I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

Why is my wish list not updating when I add songs through iTunes Radio?

Wish list is not updating.

Count me in the same boat. I'm an iTunes Match customer. While listening to iTunes Radio I push the star and then choose to add to wish list except it never adds. Doing the same function on my Mac works fine.
I found a note from Apple that stated you can only add "albums" to your wish list on iOS 7, not songs. That then begs the question....why add functionality that is purposefully intended to add songs in your own UI????

How does one get a radio station listed in the iTunes Radio Tuner?

Hi!
I am CIO for Head On Radio Network, http://www.headonradionetwork.com
We have a live 24/7 Liberal/Progressive political talk radio stream which may be found at http://server2.whiterosesociety.org:8000/HeadOnRadioHQ and we would very much like to have this listed in the iTunes Radio Tuner.
We produce 60 hours of original programming every week, and also have permission to do a "The Best Of The Mike Malloy Show" in the wake of his firing by Air America, and that is appearing at 10pm ET every weeknight. When we are not live, we replay recent shows from the live stream.
I think that having HORN on the iTunes player would be an asset to Apple.
Who do I contact? Is there some sort of application form?
Thank you all so much!

My station is listed on Itunes Radio stations, but there's a problem with the connection. Does any body help us regarding this issue? The station name is KRAL FM under the Top 40 / Pop category

HT1368 How do I add tracks from my iTunes Radio history to my wish list?

The question speaks for itself. Thx

Hello Greg,
Glad to hear you are enjoying the songs on iTunes Radio. You can add songs to your iTunes Wishlist a couple of ways.
If you are currently listening to the song, you can click on the ">" icon to the right of the song name to add it to your iTunes Wishlist:
Alternatively, if it is a song that has already played on a station you created, you can expand the station by clicking on the icon for the station, and you will see your play history to the right of "Play more like this." Right click (or hold control while you click) on the price of the song in the History list to add it to your iTunes Wishlist:

ITunes Radio Streams Not Listed

Hi,
After installing the latest version of iTunes on a Windows XP machine, iTunes does not list the radio streams, not even the catagories of radio streams. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the radio streams visible? Prior to upgrading, the radio streams were available. Also, the computer is behind a company firewall and most, but not all, radio strams are blocked.
Thanks,
Phil

Company has now blocked all iTunes radio streams.

Adding Streams to ITunes Internet Radio List

Is it a possibility for me to request a radio station to add to the Internet Radio list of streams? If so, how would I go about this? There are a few radio stations that I really want to listen to, and I can't seem to find them in the Internet Radio list. I tried opening the URL of a radio station, but somehow, it automatically starts playing a song from my music library. What do I do next?

There are two problems with this specific example:
1) That URL does not point to the stream, it's pointing to a web page (the .php tag is a clear giveaway) so you cannot use such a URL directly in iTunes.
2) the example stream is in Windows Media format and so cannot be played in iTunes.
I cannot say what other streams on that site might work, but I also tried their rock stream and confirmed that it does not work in iTunes either. QuickTime Player will handle these streams with the Flip4Mac plugin. Use the following URL for the example stream:

TS5181 View an iTunes Radio station song list

I am curious if I can view a list of the songs that have previously played on one of my iTunes Radio stations.

yes when playing the radio... you see the 3 dots and 3 lines ..click it and it shows you what you heard.. only plays the preview of the song.. not the whole song.

HT201272 I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else.

I purchased songs from iTunes Radio on my iPhone, but now the only place they will show up is in the iTunes Store app on my phone, even after syncing to my computer a million times, the songs do not show up in my library or anywhere else. My phone is not syncing properly, I wanted to add another playlist to it that I created on my Mac. I pluged in my phone and made sure the playlist I wanted to add was checked to be on my phone when I synced.
The playlist I wanted to add was "Country." It is clearly checked. I also wanted to add the "Recently Added" playlist, which I also checked before sycing. Currently, my phone only has the "Purchased" playlist and my "All Songs" playlist on it. When I hit sync, iTunes added another playlist automatically added another playlist to the list above and checked it. It was titled "ALL SONGS 1" and had ten fewer songs in it than the playlist I had created, "ALL SONGS" had. This playlist, however does not show up on my phone after syncing, nor does "Country" or "Recently Added." (Every time I sync, another playlist is created as "ALL SONGS 2, 3, 4, etc.") One of the songs (I have not, yet checked the other songs) that I purchased from within iTunes Radio shows up in the "ALL SONGS 1" on this screen:
But does not show up anywhere else. This playlist does not show up anywhere but the two screens above. The ALL SONGS 1 or 2 playlists do not show up here:
When I search for those song in my library, it shows that I do not have them:
But if I go to the iTunes store, I get the play button and not the price of the song:
This is what things look like from my phone's side of things:
"Summertime Sadness," one of the songs I bought from iTunes Radio, does not show up in the iTunes store under purchased "All" or "Not on This iPhone"
But, it does show up under "Recent Purchases"
Also, this is what playlists are on my phone after syncing a million times:
Only what was on there before I started any of this. "Summertime Sadness" and the other songs I bought from inside iTunes Radio, do not show up in either of these playlists. Please, help me.

ITunes Radio Stations on Remote iPad App

How do you display iTunes Radio stations, including custom stations in the iPad Remote app? I'd prefer to see large tiles the way albums are displayed. I've seen them displayed that way previously, but now I'm stuck with only able to show this category list?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I just stumbled upon this problem too and found that if you press edit on the "more" menu and drag the radios icon to the toolbar, it stays there. I played with this for a while and it doesnt disappear.
