ITunes Radio doesn't play

I have never been able to get any of my radio stations to play through iTunes?
I will click on a station and receive a message saying "getting playlist" but then nothing. I am working at work behind a firewall so I was wondering if that had anything to do with it. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas why this is happening. Thanks.

Hi KungFusion,
I tried playing several streams from the posted website, and all 'wanted' to be played within Safari using a Windows Media Player plug-in. I could not get them to play in iTunes. It may be that you will have to download and use Windows Media Player for Mac. If you want to hear them thru Airport and the Airport Express, you will need to use an application called Airfoil http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/airfoil.html. Hope this is helpful. Check the Airport Express discussions also for help.

ITunes radio doesn't play songs by artists added to any of my stations

This is a clarification of an earlier question.
So you can create a station with a "seed" which can be an artist, song or genre. Once itunes creates that station you can modify the station with the available "more like this", or "Never again" buttons, but there is also an option in the desktop version below the stations where you are offered a "play more like this" > "Add artist, song or genre" and itunes is happy to let you fill in any artist and it shows you possible matches from which you can select. That artist is then shown below your original seed in a list for that station. However, itunes has never played any songs by any of the artists I've added to the station via this method even though they are there in plain site as "seeds" for this station. I always have to create a whole new station with the desired artists to get any songs by them. I've had these new artists seeded/listed for months without any songs played by them on the station. Why create this option if it is never functional? What am I missing?

just for clarification this is about Itunes radio and the stations you can create in it.

Itunes radio doesn't play whole song

Hi,
I'm new to iTunes, so if this is a stupid question please excuse me.
I'm using iTunes radio and I"m noticing that many of the songs are not being played completely. Is this normal?
Thanks,
James

Itunes radio doesn't play anymore

I can log-on and acess my stations, but when I click the play button it just seems to freeze at loading, and I just get a 'candy-cane' striped bar underneath the song title. Any help?

TS5181 My iTunes Radio doesn't show song name please help

My iTunes Radio doesn't show song name what can I do

I suspect that the encoding of the Korean in the stream is not Unicode, which is what iTunes requires. iTunes cannot fix such things by itself.

HT5848 iTunes Radio no longer plays any songs. Just skips repeatedly.

I changed my Apple ID password and now my iTunes Radio does not work in any of my Apple devices.
I have a MacBook, iPad, and iPhone and iTunes Radio used to work great on all of them before I decided to change my password.
Now, whichever stations I choose to play, it just keeps skipping songs after songs for very long time and it doesn't try to even play a song.
In fact, it slows down my iPad Air and iPhone 5S as it continues to skips songs in the background by the way the icons' animates.
I have to close the music app from the multitasking to get it back from the slowness.
This also happens with the feature stations on the top, but it can only play the ads.
I am an iTunes Match subscriber, so I do not get ad on my regular stations.
I tried to use my Aple ID in my sister's iPad and it does the same thing. It still skips for so long without any playing any songs.
However, if I put my sister's Apple ID to my devices, iTunes Radio works fine.
I think it has to do with my Apple ID and it is frustrating that I cannot use part of the service I paid for.
I hope someone here can give an insight with what I am having trouble with. Thanks.

HI David - I actually had started another post on this same topic, and it was suggested there to 'update' all of your iTunes informatIon, although you don't really have anything,to change. This seemed to work for a short time for me, and then the skipping started again. I then had skip free radio for like a week, and then it started again yesterday. Today, I'm listening without issue. And yes, I use Cox too. I messaged them on FB, to which they sent me an article on an App Store outage that happened a few weeks ago, as well as a link to Apple on how to turn off the shake feature so to skip a song. I told them neither of those applied to my issue, and they told me to call Customer Serice and I just didn't have time for that. So I just let it come and go, but I'm convinced it's more of an ISP/Cox issue.

I tunes radio doesn't play selected stations ?

radio keeps jumping to alternative station than that selected - how can i play station i selected ?

I haven't had this problem but I have had a similar problem where it doesn't play but keeps skipping songs. Try restarting iTunes (actually closing it instead of hiding it in the dock) and if that doesn't work sign out of the iTunes Store and Sign back in. That resolves most of my iTunes online issues.

On Mac OSX 10.6.8, link to iTunes radio doesn't lead anywhere in iTunes.

I go into the iTunes store and click under quick links, and the iTunes Radio only goes back to my Library and doesn't have a tab up top for the actual new radio that is supposed to come with the 11.1 update. All I see is Songs, Albums, Artists, Genres, Playlists, and Internet. Internet only streams normal radio.

Found this on another board, looks like we need to upgrade to at least OSX10.7 or later. This is too bad since I have a cad program that won't run on 10.7 and is not supported on 10.7.:

ITunes Radio Won't Play Music

iTunes Radio on my Mac Mini won't play. The songs load up, but no music is played and the progress bar always stays blue (i.e., doesn't show up like a normal song playing where it starts at the beginning and as the song progresses moves towards the end). If I skip a song, it makes no difference. The new song loads up on the player but it doesn't play and the progress bar remains blue all across.
This has been acting up off and on, but it usually would get working after I'd quite iTunes. It started acting up again yesterday and I was unable to get it to play. I then upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.3 overnight and today I upgraded iTunes to 12.1.2
I've signed in and out of my account, reauthorized and reauthorized the computer, signed in and out of iTunes Match to no avail. This only happens on my Mac Mini. I have no problem playing iTunes Radio music on my iMac, iPhone, iPad, etc.
Any suggestions? I have tried just about everything I could think of.
Best regards, Phil

Ditto here. Done all you did also. Sign in, sign out. Restarted, checked iTunes Match, Updated Genius....nothing.

ITunes Radio/Music Randomly Playing on My iPhone 5 with iOS7

Hello,
I apparently do not understand how iTunes Radio/Music operates as I am noticing what I think is strange behavior on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7. I am noticing that under "artists" in the music app there are suddenly 49 songs that are appearing that I did not download to my iPhone and I can never seem to really get rid of them. There will be times when I wake up my iPhone and presented with one of these songs playing making it appear as if music has been running constantly in the background. Other times, I will just get my normal lockscreen. Our others experiencing this? I have also noticed that the songs that are showing
I have started listing to iTumes Radio as well but I don;t think the music that is playing is actually iTunes radio but instead these 49 songs that randomly synced to my iPhone without my knowledge. I would like to delete them and stop having songs randomly appear at times when I wake up my phone. Also, I do not subscribe to iTunes Match.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm having the same trouble. Sometimes restarting both the mac and the iDevice will help, but not always.
I restarted in OS X Recovery System mode and rand the Disk Utility and dozens of permissions problems were discovered! THe trouble is Disk Utility can not seem to fix them and when I reinstalled iTunes 11.1.1 from the Apple site there was no improvement.
My music library is close to 400gb and I get VERY nervous updating or working on iTunes for fear of losing something. Most is on CD somewhere though there is not time enough in this life to to re-rip everything.
What is worse is I just bought Capo 3 and when I drag my songs from iTunes to Capo 3 it says all my files are bad. It does work if I move the songs directly from the iTunes folder under Music.

How do I stop iTune Radio from automatically playing when iPad is turned on?

Since updating to the latest IOS 8.1.1 .... I now have iTunes radio turning on automatically and playing random songs every time I open my iPad to begin using it.
I have to go to the music screen and PAUSE whatever song is playing before I can do anything else...unless I want to listen to this song...which I never do!
How do I get rid of iTunes Radio...or at least disable it. It is nothing that I ever use. In fact, I don't listen to any music on my iPad as a rule except for Pandora radio once in awhile.
This is extremely annoying and I can't find any help for this problem.
Thanks.

First song on CD from iTunes store doesn't play

I recently downloaded a CD of a friend of mine, (Lissin' - Stream of Thought), but it doesn't play the first song. The song downloaded and I can see it and even select it in my library but it has no album art and won't play. The rest of the CD works flawlessly...

Assuming you are in a region where you are allowed to redownload your past purchases, delete the current copy from your iTunes library and then download again from your purchased history. If the problem persists, or that facility is not available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history.

What can I do when iTunes radio does not play a song?

This is what I'm seeing in iTunes 11.1.2.32 Windows (Win7 x64): Sometimes, iTunes radio will show the next song to play, but the bar is in barberpole like formation (i.e. it seems to be downloading/streaming) but it does nothing. It'll sit like this forever if I let it. To my knowledge this happens 100% after a commercial, and sometimes after songs. I could hit the next button, but I also understand that this takes away one of my skip options-- which means I'll run out of options. What are the options, and is this a bug?

Never mind, it had something to do with conflicting sound enhancements. Weird, but okay.

I want to get rid of iTunes Radio and just play my music library. The tool bar at the bottom allowing me to select playlists, artists etc isn't there any more. HELP!

Getting rid of iTunes Radio. How do I navigate back to my own music library? The tool bar at the bottom disappears.

Open the Music app.
Tap More on the bottom menu
Tap Edit (upper right)
Drag the icon on or off the lower tool bar to select the functions you want on it.
At step #2, you can also simply select the view you wish to use.
To navigate back to a view that shows the menu (for example, when you are playing a song), tap the < icon (upper left).
