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.

    Apple has not said, only that iTunes Radio is only available in the US at this time.  There are probably copyright law issues that need to be resolved for usage of music in other countries.

  • HT5085 Why is iTunes Radio not available in the UK?

    I was trying to get iTunes Radio on my iPad Mini, I couldn't see the tab so I checked where it was available in the USA and Australia, why is this?

    Presumably Apple have to get agreement from the record labels/rights-holders for songs for each country - US (I assume) was effectively a 'trial' to see how it was received/worked/take-up, and now that Australia has been added I assume that other countries will also be added. Though if/when it might be added here to the UK we won't know until Apple announce something.

  • TS5181 When will iTunes Radio be available in the UK?

    Apple appear to have forgotten to mention that iTunes Radio is only available in the US?! Does anyone know when the rest of the world, the UK in particular, will get access to this new iTunes feature?

    As far as I know Apple haven't said if/when it might be available here or anywhere else.

  • Recording selected iTunes radio-played songs on the Mac

    Looking for an article or other reference or single Apple Discussion post which covers both the technical and business/license aspects of recording (for personal replaying/use only) selected songs heard on iTunes-accessible radio stations. Thanks for anything. marthadance

    First check and make sure your ipod has enough room to hold all of the songs. If it doesn't have enough room then that may be why it won't sync all of them. Second there is the possibility that you have duplicate songs and have previously selected to not sync duplicate songs to your ipod. Seeing as one of the songs that won't download is one that you just bought, this probably isn't the problem. The third thing I would do is make sure ur computer, iphone, and both itunes have all updates. Hope this helps!

  • ITunes is completely broken since the last update!

    Since the last time I updated both iTunes (10.4.0.80) and iOS (4.3.5) on my iPod touch, I can't do anything!! 
    Every time I open iTunes, i eats up 50% of my CPU while Mobile Device Manager eats up the other 50%.  This is the case EVEN WHEN THEY'RE NOT DOING ANYTHING!!  I don't have enough CPU left to back up or sync ... no that there's anything TO sync since I can't access the Store.
    When I click on the link to go to the iTunes store, the program tries for 15-20 seconds, then just gives up and leaves me staring at a blank page.
    Does anybody have any idea what's broken and how to fix it?  This is on Windows 7.

    Thank you Ed for your reaction.
    At home with version 8.0 there is a artwork tab. At work I have version 8.1.1.10 and there is if I do it the way you discribe only a place to drop the jpg. if I select the whole album. After dropping the .jpg it apears in the square but after clicking OK the .jpg wil not apear in the library. I'm doing this for years without any problems. I can't get it.

  • ITunes Match falling asleep on the job

    I've been using iTunes Match for about a week, and it's been working pretty much as advertised. But suddenly today, it's stopped working from my work machine. I have my library at home, but I listen from the cloud at work. Today, when I wanted to start my music, I noticed that all the track listings were grayed out and they would not play. I consulted the support board, and read that I should stop and start iTunes Match. I did this, it prompted me for my Apple ID, and all the tracks came back. I began listening to my music, when suddenly, they grayed out again. I've stopped and started iTunes Match 4 times now. Each time, the tracks come back, and then after about 4 minutes, they gray out. Our IT tech has assured me that our firewall is not blocking the stream. Since my connection has been up for web browsing this whole time, it would appear that something is wonky with Apple's servers. I realize I'm not going to get a straight answer from Apple regarding the status of their servers, but I was wondering if others had noticed this particular issue this morning.
    Up until today, my $25 was well-spent. But if I keep seeing this sort of wonky connection problem, it will have proven to be a big mistake.

    Based on further observations of our network, the problem may be connectivity between us and Apple, so I'm letting them off the hook for the moment.

  • Itunes radio playing everything but the artist that the station is based on

    So I added a station from an artist and only heared one song from that artist in the past three days.

    How do I prevent this?
    Set a password or onscreen code for Airplay to the Apple TV:

  • 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.
