New Radio Station & Streaming Problems

I have added my favorite Public Radio station to my iTunes library, but I can not get it to connect. It shows up in the library as a radio station, but nothing happens when I click on the play button.
In addition, I'm having trouble with all the radio stations I've tried that were already in the iTunes folder. I've tried changing the streaming buffer size in preferences, but the network keeps stalling and needing rebuffering, regardless of the streaming buffer size I choose.
PowerBook PowerPC G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   Other computer is iMac, OS X v.10.3.9

I single file in a playlist repeats constantly for me (just tried it - don't usually have playlists for single items), but I have never tried using repeat on an audio stream. I expect the repeat doesn't work with streams because iTunes never gets an end-of-file notification which would then tell iTunes to start again at the beginning - but that is just a guess.
What happens if you open the stream in Quicktime? If the stream is in iTunes library, you can open it's Get Info box, click on Edit URL on the summary tab, and you can then copy the address to paste into Quicktime's Open URL. If the stream is one on the default iTunes Radio list, drag it into your Library and you can then click on the Edit URL button to copy the address. iTunes an Quicktime are not exactly the same, so you may get different results. You could also try VLC Player". Testing streams in another player may help you identify if it is really iTunes at fault.
I usually don't have streaming problems, although I rarely have a stream on longer than 2 or 3 hours at a time and I think about 5 hours is the longest I've had a stream running.

  • Why does my iPhone 5s keep crashing when I make a new radio station in iTunes Radio?

    This happens whenever I am streaming iTunes radio and decide to create a new radio station. No sooner do I click create to make a new station and the apple logo comes up as my phone begins a complete reboot.  Am I alone in this?

    Take it to an Apple store for evaluation...

  • Why submit a new radio station in itunes?

    Hello everybody
    It's possible to add a new radio station in itunes?
    Is there an email or a contact at itunes?
    Thank you very much

    There's no publically known way of doing it. 'They find you, you don't find them' is their apparent method of finding new stations for the Radio list at this time.

  • New radio stations

    when is apple going to put some new radio stations on the radio section?
    i've been looking for BBC radio 1 but i can't see it on any of the lists! if it's there then can someone pllease tel me where it is???
    thanx

    I've been hoping for BBC content since the first version of iTunes to no avail, if they were going to do it I'd imagine they'd have done so by now. Could be to do with licensing issues, I know they cut any royalty-fee-incurring content from their podcasts.
    The whole iTunes radio section is in need of an overhaul anyway, so many missed opportunities for cool features.

  • Radio station stream

    When I link to radio stream (from radio station's web site) it goes into in the music library. So when I quit itunes it is no longer there and I have to go to radio station's web site again and again.
    Am I missing a setting?
    Thanks in advance

    Try all the options on that buffer setting. Also, check your QuickTime preferences and make sure the bandwidth setting is the same or LOWER than your actual connection speed to the Internet.

  • Radio station streaming now gone

    Anyone else having trouble streaming radio stations that use Liquid Compass or Win Media Player. I know PPC plugins don't work on Intel Macs but I could have sworn it was working a couple weeks ago. I was away for a week and now I just get one of those missing plugin icons.

  • How do I turn off the radio station streaming I used several days ago on Safari?

    I went to local npr.org radio station in Safari and listened for the afternoon.  When I closed out the tab, the station continued playing, and now every time I get on Safari, the station starts playing.  I have closed out Safari, rebooted computer, even trashed Flip4 app and still can't get it to stop. Every time I open Safari, which I like to use, I am listening to WAMU in DC.  Ideas?  Thanks! Kate

    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
    and confirm. Test.

  • 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.

  • Inserting new radio stations

    How does one augment Apple's list of classical radio stations by inserting my own favorites, like BBC Radio3, for example. Thank you.
    Dell   Windows XP  

    You cannot, that list is regulated by a third party
    and has never been updated.
    Curses! Thanks for your response. Perhaps Apple might be persuaded revisit this situation so that one may do this effortlessly. Thomas.

  • Radio station stream constantly rebuffers, drops

    At WNYU Radio <http://www.wnyu.org> we've noticed that our MP3 stream requires rebuffering and then drops without error/notice extremely often. This is our #1 listener complaint.
    It's been tested over the course of a year with numerous clients on a multitude of connection speeds -- streaming straight into Quicktime on the same machine will work fine, but iTunes will still rebuffer and then silently drop it. Winamp, XMMS, Rythmbox, etc. all work perfectly on the exact same machine & network (including running Winamp in Parallels)
    Our streaming server runs Quicktime Streaming Server and our sysadmin claims the bandwidth capacity is not even close to being saturated, which is supported by the fact that it works perfectly in every other client on the same computer and same network connection.
    Do we have something misconfigured for iTunes? Is this an iTunes bug?

    Try all the options on that buffer setting. Also, check your QuickTime preferences and make sure the bandwidth setting is the same or LOWER than your actual connection speed to the Internet.

  • Radio stations using flip4mac not playing after upgrading to Lion

    I used to listen to radio station-streaming which used flip4mac. Everything worked fine until I upgraded to Lion. I have searched around in different fora and I realized that there are many reports about similar problems. Has anyone heard of a solution/fix to that?? 
    Thanks!

    Ajay
    Thank you!  For whatever reason, resetting the PRAM did work and solved the problem as now my iMac goes to sleep properly.  Sorry for the delay in responding, but I wanted to test it for 2 days to make sure.
    Thanks again!!

  • How to use my iPhone 4 to select Internet radio stations on MacBook Pro

    Okay, once again I return here to seek guidance and wisdom.  Fellow members here told me about Air Video, a terrific set of programs for iOS and OS X to stream videos from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4.  It is awesome!
    Now, my other need (?).  I want to run something on my Mac that lets me select Internet radio station streams like TuneIn for ex., but I want to be able to change selections on whatever is on the Mac from the iPhone 4.  What I want to do is use the iPhone 4 as a remote for the app on the Mac which I want to connect to either some external speakers or someday to a real external Dac, amp, and speakers.
    I have the TuneIn Pro app on my iPhone 4 already and on the Mac via browser have accessed their website.
    Now someone surely is going to mention Airplay or something to stream from the iPhone4.  From the cost of Airplay capable hardware, I just can't afford it yet.  Maybe if I could find Bluetooth speaker or device?
    One other thing to throw in for thought.  I have not only iTunes on my MacBook Pro, but also Fidelia and Amarra, and thinking about Decibel or Audirvana.  In other words somewhat hi-def music output quality available on the Mac.  So....I do have a remote app for Fidelia and think there's one for either Decibel or Audirvana, so that brings me back to Internet radio on the MacBook Pro.  If I can find a way to use the iPhone 4 to select an app on the Mac for Internet radio, I can play those plus hi-def music via one of those programs.
    I probably didn't say all that right, but I hope you can decipher what I am asking about.
    If nothing else, can you recommend inexpensive Bluetooth speakers to play radio from the iPhone4?  I was hoping to buy some AudioEngine powered speakers for the Mac, hence the desire to run all sound/music through that device but using the iPhone4 as control device.

    Hi Starbux48
    First off. The benefits of using Amarra, Pure Music, Audirvana or whatever, can only be heard if you have a true audiophile system set-up. Think of systems starting from 5000 U$. Then only if your music files are high resolution. Think ALAC or FLAC, AIFF or Wave.  For all other music playing the itunes set-up suffices. So the better idea for you will be playing the music over your macbook.
    Mountain lion offers airplay for intel based macs. You can use this. If you install the free Remote App. on your iPhone, you can use that to control itunes on your Macbook via wifi/Airplay. The remote app offers you the view of itunes on your Macbook and the screen of your Macbook changes with what you do on your iPhone. So you can even control the itunes radiostation from your iPhone.
    If you have an older, non-intel macbook, you can install airserver on your macbook. This will set you back 15 dollars or so, but will basically do the same.
