M4A/Chapter Streaming - question from a professional radio station

My name is Jason Wohlstadter and I run Proton Radio (www.protonradio.com).
We've been broadcasting into Quicktime via Shoutcast for the past four years in MP3 format. We'd like to start broadcasting in m4a format to utilize the awesome Chapter Tool that Apple released, which would allow us to specify what tracks are playing in the large 2-3 hour solid DJ mixes we air.
My question: Is it possible for the chapters to be utilized in a stream? They work fine in a download medium like a Podcast, but when we tried opening the .m4a files via a stream the additional meta data was not displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

A lot of radio stations make it difficult to listen to their live stream in anything but a web browser.
Rogue Amoeba have an app called Airfoil which allows you to take audio from any application and redirect it to Airtunes on Airport Expresses, Apple TVs and other computers.

Trying to download a free song from my favorite radio station an cant and i have done it before?

Sorry, I am not sure what you are doing.
You can only download songs from Apple iTunes Store or sync from computer iTunes music section.

I have a question about the iTunes radio stations

In the itunes application on PC, under the Library category, there is a section of Radio stations.
Is there any way to save or bookmark specific radio stations for quick access? The lists of stations are so long and it's kind of a pain having to locate my favorite stations every time I open itunes.

Create a new playlist then add the stations you want to this playlist.

Stream audio from a source

Hi,
I was wondering if it were possible to stream audio from an internet radio station. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks in advance!

I found this: http://techtips.salon.com/use-iphone-webcam-3623.html
I would suggest the use of an analog capture card, like a Dazzle, and the official Apple Composite video cable. I'm not sure if it would work, but the systematics would be (Output) (phone)—(Input)-Output (capture card)—Input (your PC)
I can't verify this, maybe if I get the Apple AV cable I can, since I have everything else.

ITunes disconnects from Web Radio Station

When I adjust the volume in iTunes it disconnects from the Web radio station I am listening to and the connection has to be restarted.

Yes.
Does the webradio station have a website you can get a .pls or .m3u link from?
If so, you download that file then double-click on it and it should launch iTunes and add the web address of the stream to your Music library.
You can then build a playlist with all your favorite stations in it. (I have one that is nothing but radio stations I like)

Could you provide a little more information?
Did you try to redeem a code in the iTunes Store, and it gave you an error message?

Is it legal to 'stream' from iTunes radio stations for personal use?

I have tried to search references to this issue on this forum. Apologies if I have missed them.
Is it legal for me to stream songs from iTunes radio stations ( using for example Streamripper) and to subsequently transfer them to my iPod for personal use?
Am I infringing copyright if I do or have the radio stations already paid copyright?
I am sorry to have to ask this very basic question but I can't get clear guidance elsewhere and it bothers me.
Thank you.

dlowe,
I'm not a lawyer and this isn't legal advice, but I would use the analogy of video taping your favorite show on TV to watch later (or using a DVR). This, I believe is considered "fair use" of the product via what is called "time-shifting." This was the conclusion from the U.S. Supreme Court in the Betamax decision.
As long as you don't offer the show for sale, I think you're okay.

How do I delete a radio station stream from "My Stations" in iTunes 11.1 for the Mac?

So far in iTunes Radio I have 3 personalized radio stations set up. I want to get rid of one of them. How to do? This is on my Mac and not iOS.

Hello, macpro3000.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Deleting a station in iTunes Radio is similar to deleting other iTunes media. To delete a station, click the desired station, then press delete on your keyboard. You can also delete multiple stations by clicking and dragging your cursor over multiple stations. Once you've selected the desired stations, press delete on your keyboard.

How to delete a streamed radio station

I created a smart playlist for streamed radio stations (using the rule "Kind contains stream").
I don't want to delete the entire smart playlist but there are some individual stations that I now wish to delete. I'm not sure how to do this and any help would be appreciated.

I think I figured it out. I had to go to my main iTunes library to delete the stations I know longer wanted (at first I tried to delete from the smart playlist folder but it wouldn't allow me to delete). Consider my question answered.

Can I get this code to stream a radio station?

I have a radio station in AAC format.
I got this code to play an m4a file, but how would I get it to play an m4a stream?
The stream I'd like to use is http://89.238.166.195:9162
var mySound:SoundTransform;
var connect_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
connect_nc.connect(null);
var stream_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(connect_nc);
stream_ns.play("sample.m4a");
mySound = stream_ns.soundTransform;
mySound.volume = .5;
stream_ns.soundTransform = mySound;
how would I go about playing a streaming radio service.

Well, a RandomAccessFile together with a counter should work. However, you can also achieve this by buffering the input rather than writing it directly out
java.util.Vector vect = new java.util.Vector();
try{
     while((c = istream.read()) != -1){
         vect.append(c);
catch(IOException e){
     System.out.println("Error: " + e.getMessage());
finally{
     istream.close();
}     with the help of
java.util.Vector.size() and
java.util.Vector.elementAt(int index)
you are able to display only 20 lines at a time, you just need the additional code for reading System.in
public static void prompt(String s){
    System.out.print(s + " ");
    System.out.flush();
public static String readData ( BufferedReader in) {
    boolean verfuegbar = true;
    while ( verfuegbar){
      try{
        S = in.readLine();
        if ( S != null)verfuegbar = false ;
      catch (IOException e){System.out.print (e);}
    return S;
}now it should work with
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
prompt("return for continuing");
int twentscount = 0;
int count = 0;
do{
   while( count < 20 && twentscount+count < vect.size() ){
       outstream.write(vect.elementAt(twentscount + count).toString() );
       count++;
prompt("return");
readData(in);
twentscount += 20;
count = 0;
while(twentscount + count < vect.size());sure, this is code from head, and you can make many changes (e.g. instead of using twentscount use the modulo (%) operator saving one variable (while count % 20 != 0 ).
I'm also not sure if it will definitly run , since i haven't tested it (especialy for index borders).
I hope this will give you enough hints for this possible solution.

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

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 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.

Is there a way I can stream video from my 2012 AirMac to the Apple TV using airplay and at the same time stream the audio to an air speaker?

Is there a way stream video from a 2012 MacBook Air to a TV using Apple TV and at the same time steam the audio to an air speaker. Also the same question but using an ipad

You can try one thing. Follow these steps:
1. On your Mac, turn on AirPlay Mirroring and connect it to the Apple TV, so audio and video will stream from the Apple TV.
2. Turn off the sound of the TV where you have connected the Apple TV.
3. Then, make sure that you have turned on the AirPlay speakers. Then, open System Preferences > Sound > Output, and choose the external speakers, so sound will stream from these external speakers.
This should work correctly

I can no longer stream any radio station, no audio

I have been streaming various radio stations for years, Sometimes the audio drops at one station, so then I click on another to resume the same talk radio host. About a week ago, I went back & forth trying to keep the show going, butsuddenly i realized non of the stations were working? I do get audio from advertising before streaming opens?

ITunes, Apple TV and Time Capsule streaming questions

I have a question about how to handle an Apple Tv with my new Time Capsule setup.
Setup is as follows
Macbook with 29g iTunes library, mostly music and purchased iTunes Music Videos. Some movies converted via Handbreak. All of that synced to my 160g ATV.
Time Capsule with 300g of movies converted via Handbreak.
Macbook Pro that has the movies on the TC as it's library, shared to stream to the Apple TV.
I am connected with the Macbook by G, the Macbook Pro by N, the Time capsule by N. assume that the Macbook is off, so that everything is N.
If I stream a movie, does the path go Macbook pro reads time capsule, time capsule sends the data to the MPB, and then the MPB streams to the ATV?
Or, does the ATV read the path of the music on the TC, and stream it direct from there?
I tried to play an online game (World of Warcraft) while watching a movie on the ATV that is on the TC that hitched / studdered / buffered like crazy.
I want to eventually set up 2 ATVs both reading the media on the TC to stream. From the looks of things now, I wont be able to stream 2 at the same time, and definately not while playing online.
I know there are a lot of threads out there about iTunes and wht not, i've read them and did my best... but i'm not a pro at networking. Not sure if I have settings wrong, or can improve something, or if i have just bad luck
Any and all info, with the Idiots Guid explanation, is appreciated
Thanks

Update .... fixed this problem. 3 words:
LINE OF SIGHT
I had full signal on both my Laptop and my ATV before the fix. I figured with my tiny 900 sq foot home with the TC no more than 30 feet unobstructed from the ATV and Laptop that I would be fine since the signal was full.
However, on a whim i moved the LAPTOP into the room with the TC and streamed to the ATV... and it worked FLAWLESSLY. I then logged on my online game, and it still worked flawlessly. I then opened Ventrillo (basically VOIP program to chat w people) ands till streamed flawlessly. I then opened up Adium and loaded Yahoo/AIM and it was still streaming fine.
I then moved the laptop back into the next room, and it instantly hung.
So i picked up the Time Capsule that was on a desk next to a wooden box that i use to store CDs in, and put it on top of the box. I then reloaded everything and streamed with laptop back int he next room and it was perfect. I was able to have all the above open AND surf the web (so we are not talking a DECENT amount of traffic on the same laptop that streams the movie to the ATV) and it was fine. I did notice a 1-2 second video hitch (not audio and no rebuffering) whenever I opened a website that had more than 40 photos on it or any video... i guess that coupled with the game, VOIP and IM software was too much traffic.
So, I am happy to annouce that i have no problems streaming itunes or streaming movies from the time capsule to my apple tv. i am so happy. I was prepared to go and buy a mac mini and wire that and the apple tv to the tc. Instead, I am probably going to buy a second ATV for the bedroom.
