Paste radio station playlists into podcast fields - searchable?

Hi,
The radio station I listen to, WFMU, has lots of podcasts. They also have detailed playlists printed on their website. I would like to copy and paste those playlists into one of the fields in iTunes but so far I haven't found an appropriate one that is searchable and will also fit all this info. (Shows are from one to three hours long.) So far the "lyrics" and ""Comments" fields, the largest and most logical places to paste this info into for me, aren't working when I search for something in them. The info does fit into both of those fields though.
What field should I past these LONG playlists into so that the individual songs can be searched on and found and will fit and be appropriate?
Thanks.
John L

Thanks.

Radio station playlists

Anyone know where to find the lists of radio station playlists? I saw it once several months ago in iTunes but have not been able to find it since...Thanks.
Windows XP

Hmmm...I checked things out and that button is already selected in my preferences.
There used to be a place on iTunes where you could view the playlists for any radio station in the country (selecting by city, then station). Or so I thought. Thanks for your thoughts!

I work at a radio station and my podcast got denied thru iTunes!

I work at a radio station and we do a live local band show every week. We wanted to have the previous episodes setup as podcasts but for some reason iTunes has denied our feed. We have permission from all the artists to use their music so not sure why there is an issue.
Feed is: http://rockthefox.podbean.com/feed/
I have a case number of 520580144 and my original case number of 294306745. We are now 4 weeks into our live show and yet the archived shows are still no where to be found on iTunes.
Please help...these Chicago local bands are waiting to be heard!
Thanks,
JP

There appears to be no technical problem with the feed, so it seems likely that the reason for rejection is that the Store staff suspect you of breaching copyright in the manner of countless other 'mix' podcasts.
I can only suggest emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com and explaining the situation.

Radio Station Playlists for Car Use

How do you get the iPod Stations that you use for your car radio? I had them, but they went into my "songs" playlist, and every time I sync it up in my car and it shuffles to the next song, it goes to another radio station and messes it up so I have to do it all over again...
Isn't there a way to do it so that the station frequencies don't go into your "songs" playlist?

Meg is correct; radio station charts were removed from the iTunes Store almost a year ago. Sorry.

Synching Internet Radio Stations Playlist with ATV - Doesn't always work!

I'm having some challenges with ATV Take 2 and itunes 7.6.1 to synch a playlist that contains internet radio stations. I can get it to work when I first sync ATV to iTunes, but then within a few hours, the playlist does not remain synched, and when accessed through ATV, it gives a message to the effect that "there are no songs in this playlist". The only way to fix the problem is to re-synch ATV, which is a pain.
Has anybody successfully set up a playlist containing internet radio stations in iTunes and managed to keep it synched in ATV Take 2?

I am having the same problem. This is one of the features that I was really excited about

Radio station playlist not showing up in Playlist folder

Hello,
I am using iTunes 10.2.1.1
I have a Playlist Folder titled Night. In this folder i have a Smart Playlist containing any podcasts where plays = 0. This allows me to listen to all of my new podcasts for each day.
Also in the Folder is a playlist titled Radio, in which i have a radio stream.
When i click on the Playlist Folder however, only the Podcasts show up in the view. I have had this working before where it would show all new Podcasts and then the radio stream but now for some reason it is no longer working correctly.
Can anyone help get it back to correctly displaying my new podcasts PLUS the radio stream when i click the Playlist Folder?

Please delete thread

Apple TV 2 shows Playlisted Radio Station Genres under Music.

It's more annoying than anything else, but Apple TV and Apple Remote show Radio Station Genres while browsing Music Genres on my PC library. Naturally, when you select that Genre the either device reports 'No Songs' in the libray.
In order to remember three Internet Radio Stations, I dragged them into a Playlist titled Radio Stations on my PC library. As a result, those 'odd' Genres now show up under Music as described above when using Apple TV to access my library or using Apple Remote on my iPhone to access my library.
I guess the only way to stop seeing those Radio Station Genres is to delete the Radio Station Playlist, but then that sort of defeats the purpose of using that function for when I'm sitting in front of my PC.
Am I missing a simple solution?
Thanks.

Thanks, Gino.
I was thinking that would be the case.
It is odd, however, that when I use Apple Remote to control the Apple TV and use 'Computers' to access my PC library rather than swipe 'Control' (or the Apple TV remote itself), the Music Genres show up correctly; as in without displaying the Radio Station Genres!
It's when I control my PC library directly with Apple Remote or access my PC library with Apple TV that the Radio Station Genres appear under Music.
It does seem a bit inconsistent and a not intuitive.
Oh, well. Thought I'd ask!

How do you search radio stations?

In iTunes 10, I had a playlist called "All Radio Stations". I created it by opening a genre under the radio heading (i.e. Adult Contemporary, Alternative Rock, etc.), copying every radio station in that genre, and pasting it into my "All Radio Stations" folder. I did that with every genre, until I had every radio station accounted for in my playlist. Then, I could search for a particular station by name rather than trying to guess which genre it might be listed under. Then, I created a couple smaller playlists with my favorite radio stations.
Then, I updated to iTunes 11 which, surprisingly, created albums (each listed as "unknown album") of my radio station playlists. I don't want these radio station playlists to be treated as albums for 3 reasons: (1) they are not albums; (2) it causes iTunes to hang for up to a minute when I select one under album view; and (3) I don't want it to be included when shuffling all songs or albums.
Is there a better way, perhaps a script, that allows one to search for radio stations by name?
Is there a way to create a playlist of radio stations without iTunes automatically turning it into an album?
Why didn't Apple make it possible to search for radio stations on iTunes by their call letters?

After a little experimentation, I have discovered that creating a playlist of radio stations causes an "unknown album" to be created, and any additional playlists of radio stations that you create are then automatically added to that "unknown album", as if they were songs on that album. Radio station playlists are not albums, and should not be represented as such.
Also, I would still like to be able to search for radio stations on iTunes, whether by call letters, name of the station, or perhaps by words included in the description of the station. Apple lets you search like this is your playlists, albums, songs, podcasts, movies, etc. this way, but not radio stations.

Why did I lose the path to my Radio Station presets?

I save iTunes radio stations to a playlist so I can have all of the radio stations I enjoy listening to in one playlist. I went to this playlist today and double-clicked on a few radio stations and nothing happened! I went back to the master Radio Station list and was able to double-click on one of the stations that I have in my playlist and it played normally.
My question is, what happened to the paths of the saved stations in my Radio station playlist, and why did these stations not play? I've resigned myself to having to reload all the radio stations back into this playlist, but I haven't been able to find anything online out about this specific issue. Thanks in advance.

I also discovered the same problem. However, I've also found that many of the stations I've listened to for years are suddenly gone, not even in the master Radio Stations list. Why are they gone, and what does it take for stations to be available on iTunes, I could never figure out why the selection is so limited..

Is there a way to mark favorites radio stations?

Whether I'm using the ATV Radio app or iTunes radio playing to ATV, it seems I have to navigate to my favorite stations each time. Is there a way to mark your favorite radio stations to make it easy to flip around?
Thanks.

Although I make great use of Apple TV, iPeng handles radio and favourites (whether radio stations, playlists, albums or songs) very much better.
In my case, I use iPeng to direct my tunes, radio, etc., through a Logitech Squeezebox, but there some options to use iPeng to play through Apple TV via an iPad or iPhone, although I've found this not as fast or responsive as through the Squeezebox.

Lost a radio station: Where is "Americana"?

Not sure if it got pulled, or something happened to it on my system. Re-installed iTunes, but no effect. Hmmm...anyone? Thanks.

Quite a few Internet Radio Stations have been (and will be) going off air thanks to the royalty rate hikes that have been proposed by the Copyright Royalty Board.
Here's an article that can give you some more information... Royalty Hike Panics Webcasters
Edit: View this thread... Does anyone know how to get Radio stations back into my ITUNES?

Please walk me thru creating a playlist in iTunes for internet radio stations

Please walk me thru creating a playlist in itunes specifically for internet radio. The itunes help page is not detail enough.

Create a new playlist
Open iTunes
Click the + button in the lower left corner of the window.
Name your playlist
Add radio stations:
On the left side of the iTunes window, at the top is the "Library" group. Under "Library" should be an item called "Radio." Click that to open the radio listings. If you do not see "Radio" in iTunes, go to the menu bar at the top of your screen and open iTunes > Preferences. In the preferences window, under the General tab, make sure Show > Radio is checked and click OK.
Find a station in the Radio listing.
Drag that station from the listing on the right side of the window to the new playlist you created on the left side, and drop.
You now have a playlist with a streaming radio station in it.
To add stations not listed in the iTunes radio listings:
Locate the stream URL (if you need further help, post which radio station you want exactly)
Copy the URL to your clipboard (command+C)
open iTunes
In the menu bar at the top of your screen, click on Advnaced > Open Stream...
Paste the URL (command+V)
Click OK
Your new radio stream should now appear in a playlist called "Internet Songs." Open that playlist.
Drag the station from the Internet Songs playlist into your own playlist.

, I-tunes can no longer 'locate' my library , after a botched cut & paste attempt to back-up onto an external drive. Still syncing with i-Pod but playlists lost , podcasts no longer syncing, Can't play music .. how to restore back to original state .

I-tunes can no longer 'locate' my library , after a botched cut & paste attempt to back-up onto an external drive.Cant play any music as it "can't find" the library Still syncing with i-Pod but playlists lost , podcasts no longer syncing. How to restore back to original state . I have tried re-installing - with no change

I do the same thing as you do...
My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

How do I manage radio stations in a different playlist other than itunes's main library?

First of all, I don't remember having this problem before. Second, for being apple's flagship software product, it's still really really buggy, but I digress.
In anycase I have some radio stations that I want to put into a play list on itunes. The problem is that they show up in my main music library as well, this is an issue when I just want to listen to my playlist and they pop up. I want my radio stations to be contained differently from my main music stash. As I said earilier, I don't remember this being like this before. Pretty much, ever since apple change the iTunes icon, I've been less and less thrilled about the changes being made to itunes.
Sincerly,
(Someone who is Grumbling about how itunes doesn't handle album art very well, and gets annoyed when itunes inadvertanly delete's it.)

This question is no longer relevant. I now have a wonderful MacBook Pro and am happy using iTunes

Shoutcast radio stations as a seperate playlist

Is there a way to load up the .pls files into itunes as a seperate playlist rather than keeping it in the library (because if the shuffle goes to the radio station, it'll stay on it 'forever')
update: I've created a playlist called Shoutcasts and dragged/dropped the .pls files into that playlist, but they're not playing

please discard that, as it does work! it was at the network i was at prior but it does work and has great support for it, NICE WORK APPLE! YOU MADE ME SMILE!!!
