ITunes Classical Radio stream

The Classical Radio stream in iTunes is stuck on "refreshing" for, like, hours, on both my iMac and my MacBook. Tried quitting and reloading the application, restarted both computers. Didn't help. Any ideas?

Works in an instant on my iTunes 7.5
There were a lot of issues about this about two weeks ago but then it died down. It happened to some people part of the time, some people for all the time, not at all to others. Some genres for some, others for others, etc. Different versions of iTunes and systems. There's some things that seemed to help some people, though I suspect it was just coincidental or it solved a similar but unrelated issue.
It's not clear what the issue is, or where it lies. If it's something to do with Apple's servers they are not likely to discuss it. There was an issue like this a few months ago with the weather widgets and people kept on posting with no news until one day it suddenly started working, again with no news. If you wish to, you can report to Apple.

There are other applications that let you listed to online radio if you are desperate. Check www.pure-mac.com

Can I listen to iTunes Jazz Radio (Stream) in another room with Express?

Hi.
I am using an 802.11 a/b/g/n Extream. I listen to iTunes Jazz Radio (Stream) on my Mac Pro. Can I listen to it with the help of an Airport Express pluged into a stereo in another room? Please help.
Thank you.

Can I listen to it with the help of an Airport Express pluged into a stereo in another room?
Yes, you can use an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) for streaming iTunes audio sources. The AX would just need to be configured as a wireless client by joining the wireless network created by the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).

HELP! MY ITUNES INTERNET RADIO STREAMS DELETED!

I just opened my iTunes internet streaming radio.
When I clicked on the Classical stream the arrow pointed downward & the number of streams was indicated.
BUT THERE ARE NO STREAMS! To the best of my knowledge I have not done anything to effect this.
Pls. advise. Many thanks.

Itunes hangs during radio streaming and has to be forced quit

Itunes plays radio streams ok for a while, but eventually the music stops. Pressing stop to restart the url doesnt work, the whole of itunes becomes frozen and unresponsive and needs to be force quit everytime.
Its very frustrating as when you restart itunes it needs to then check the whole library.
Playback is fine for all hard drive content. Happens on both ethernet and airport connection.
Cant seem to find other people having the same kind of issue.
Have reinstalled itunes several time to no avail.
Any ideas?

I think I have the same problem and I am pretty sure I can give a recipe for replicating it: listen to any radio stream; when the stream gets interrupted for buffering (if you have multiple windows open, you probably won't notice the little dialog box popping), press the "PLAY" key on your keyboard. Voilà. iTunes hanged.
I've submitted countless bug/crash reports on OS 10.5 and OS 10.6. Something changed in Lion (10.7) in that even though iTunes still *has* to be force-quit, it doesn't count it as a crash and so there's no prompt to submit a report.
Frankly, I am kind of amazed that this years-old bug which probably affects just about everyone listening to streams is not fixed already.

Itunes radio stream quality

Itunes 10 radio streams are horrible. It sounds as if the chosen station and several weaker different stations are being simultaneously streamed. Often part of the the song comes through strong, but the vocal track sounds weak and tinny. Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas on a fix?
Thanks.

I don't have any problems with the stations I've listened to. What stations have you tried that exhibit this problem?

When radio stream drops, itunes 11 shifts to next station

We use itunes to stream classical radio - but when the stream drops, itunes moves on to the next radio station on the list. Is there any way to just wait for rebuffering to reconnect??
We are running iTunes 11 on Windows XP.

Same happening here on Windows XP & Windows 7 ever since iTunes 11
Constant rebuffering is annoying enough without having to reselect the station everytime.

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Yes, but it WON'T play through the browser. It'll require any visitor who clicks it to have iTunes installed, and it'll open iTunes as soon as they do.

Is there any combination of OS Lion and iTunes that can run radio streams without cutting (rebuffing) it for at least 3-4 hours?

Hello! Is there any combination of OS Lion and iTunes that can run radio streams (primarily pls-streams) without cutting (rebuffing) it for at least 3-4 hours? I am running Lion (10.7.1) on an early-2011 MacBookPro with iTunes 10.3.1 and I am frustrated, because it will cut the stream at least once per hour (it's totally random), while my older MacBook, running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1 doesn't have any such problems ... Any solution?

Maybe you should upgrade iTunes to the current version - 10.5.3 - and upgrade Lion to 10.7.3.

Does iTunes 11 still offer the radio streams that the previous editions did?

Does iTunes 11 still offer the radio streams that the previous editions did? For instance I could listen to Canadian Brodcasting from all over Canada, or NPR stations in different cities. I know they've added a Pandora like feature, but I'd like to keep the streaming radion feature as is.

quote "I think Apple have taken a wrong turn with the new iTunes 11 update by removing some key features. Most concerning for this this writer is the removal of the user generated iMix ecosystem. I am asking iTunes to bring back the iMix and I encourage you to do the same at their feedback page http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I believe honest word of mouth is the best recommendation and the iMix ecosystem contains plenty. There are over zealous self promoters and fanatical fans in there too but at least the content its real opinion and generated by real people. Which is far better that the beefed “Listeners Also Bought” box which just looks like machine generated advertising to me."
I just sent them feedback I suggest everyone do so.

Where is Internet availability in iTunes 11 for streaming ordinary internet radio

In the new iTunes for PC and for the OS lion there is the ability to go out to the internet and play streaming radio stations. I can't find it on the IOS 7 version of the new iTunes

Thanks for your suggestions and I am afraid that I may not have been as clear on my post. The is no problem of finding radio streams on my mac pro and my pc on the new itunes. The "internet" buttons are there and I have used them, but on the ipad, which as the new IOS7 there is not "internet" button that I can find. I hope this is a bit clearer and I appreciate your feedback. My account is in the USA and so I recieve the new "Apple radio".

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.

BBC Radio Streams Down on iTunes

To those of you who use BBC Radio streams on iTunes can you confirm that the streams for R1, R2 and R6 are down?
I can still get R3, R4 and R5. but getting URL not found for the above ones.
If anyone has comments or a workaround please let me know. Posting this in iTunes for windows but have the same issue in iTunes for Mac and also on all iOS radio apps I have.
Thanks,
Andzzz

Yes, I have them back as of today. I had the stations in a playlist, but found that when I re-checked the actual list in iTunes the URL had changed.
Re-added the the new URLs and all working fine.
Thanks for the response.

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid? But how can I fix it?
Thanks!

My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
I may just have to bring my own in.

ITunes 11.1.4 for mac not playing Internet radio streams

I updated the iTunes app a couple of days ago and in exploring international internet radio streams, I noticed that none of them work.
Anyone else having the same issue with the latest iTunes update?

sberman,
Thanks for the link. I've seen that page before and tried everything on it, but I'm still having the problem. From what I read in other threads, so are many other people.

DIY how to guide: BBC radio streams in iTunes

Been searching for a while to get BBC radio streams (for me, specifically BBC radio 4) working in iTunes, and since I could't find any information in the discussions here, this is how I did it with help from various sources on the net.
What you need:
flip4mac plugins installed (free)
VLC (free)
QuickTime 7 Pro (the regular QuickTime 7 does not allow saving)
Safari
iTunes
You'll find the bbc stream links on the below pages:
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playingradio_progs/real_wmastreams
http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/playingradio_progs/local_radiostreams
What I did:
1. copy the url to the radio station you want
2. open the url in VLC, let it start playing
3. save the playlist as m3u
4. open the playlist in QuickTime 7 Pro, let it start playing
5. in QuickTime 7 Pro, save the stream as .mov
6. open the .mov in iTunes and play it
Even though it lists about 10 minutes in iTunes, it will play the live stream for hours.
Happy BBC radio-ing in iTunes!

Well I know a much easier one:
open iTunes
click radios
click news/talk radios
click radio 4
That would be indeed be easier if it worked: unfortunately it doesn't - it looks rather as if the BBC have turned the stream off (unless it's a fault condition, of course).
