Radio streaming interruptions

I have a problem that I can't figure out. When I am
listening to any radio station the sound stops
whenever I "hide" the broadcast window or whenever I
click on any drop down menu!! Any thoughts?

Are you using iTunes to listen to the stations? If so, go to your iTunes preferences, click on "Advanced", go down to the "Streaming Buffer Size" pull down menu and select "Large."

Listening to 3rd party radio stream (via Tuner) gets interrupted by ipod

I was listening to an internet radio stream at the gym tonight when all of a sudden the phone just switches over and starts playing a song from my music library. The display on the phone still showed the Tuner app' in the foreground but with the audio from the ipod app' playing.
I switched to the ipod made sure it was paused and then tried to play Tuner radio again only to have the ipod cut back in a few minutes later. This kept happening until I left the gym.
I understan that if the internet stream drops out then the music will stop, but why is the ipod "kicking in"?

Thanks for responding!
No, I don't jump the gun and advance to the next song/podcast, it just plays through to the end and then the next song starts.
I don't think the JBL On Stage works the same way Ford's Sync does. I should have been more specific in how the car's built in iPod interface works. You cannot control the iPhone's iPod features from the iPhone screen when plugged in. The screen displays a message that it's in slave mode or some such thing and all control comes from the car's controls.
Things like the On Stage you still have control over the device while docked, so it may be reacting differently.
I looked at Circuit City for any kind of device that was more than just a dock/external speakers, but no luck there. Surprised that place is still in business, poor selection, no customers...

Itunes hangs during radio streaming and has to be forced quit

Itunes plays radio streams ok for a while, but eventually the music stops. Pressing stop to restart the url doesnt work, the whole of itunes becomes frozen and unresponsive and needs to be force quit everytime.
Its very frustrating as when you restart itunes it needs to then check the whole library.
Playback is fine for all hard drive content. Happens on both ethernet and airport connection.
Cant seem to find other people having the same kind of issue.
Have reinstalled itunes several time to no avail.
Any ideas?

I think I have the same problem and I am pretty sure I can give a recipe for replicating it: listen to any radio stream; when the stream gets interrupted for buffering (if you have multiple windows open, you probably won't notice the little dialog box popping), press the "PLAY" key on your keyboard. Voilà. iTunes hanged.
I've submitted countless bug/crash reports on OS 10.5 and OS 10.6. Something changed in Lion (10.7) in that even though iTunes still *has* to be force-quit, it doesn't count it as a crash and so there's no prompt to submit a report.
Frankly, I am kind of amazed that this years-old bug which probably affects just about everyone listening to streams is not fixed already.

Is there a way of.m3u internet radio streaming on my iPhone?

is there a way of.m3u internet radio streaming on my iPhone? I was looking for a way of downloading .m3u files and putting them on my iPhone and was wondering if Music would do that as I cant get it to work. Or can anyone recommend another solutio

Copied from your initial post:
" I was looking for a way of downloading .m3u files and putting them on my iPhone"
Hence my reply.
Look in the app store for a streaming app, there are many.

Is it possible to create a link that I can place on a website to an internet radio stream on iTunes?

Yes, but it WON'T play through the browser. It'll require any visitor who clicks it to have iTunes installed, and it'll open iTunes as soon as they do.

Meta data (song information) not updating in mini player for radio stream

I notice in the mini player view, the meta data does not update for radio streams. This is a big deal for me because I listen to radio stations all the time, and I don't want to have to switch between the mini player and full player to see the song information. This wasn't an issue in iTunes 10 (and previous versions as I recall), where I could just click to toggle between the name of the station and the meta information.

I understand your concerns, but regarding the headphone jack, this is standard procedure. While you may have checked these things, and know more about the player, a lot of people will not check the basic things before contacting support. The Advisors have to check these things with you first to make sure they've been checked.
As far as transferring data goes, it is true that unfortunately we cannot transfer data over for you or make a back-up. Doing this for all the returns for different players would require a lot of resources, time and money, making the RMA process a lot longer for everyone. In some cases, it's even necessary to replace the harddri've or the whole player.

Can I listen to iTunes Jazz Radio (Stream) in another room with Express?

Hi.
I am using an 802.11 a/b/g/n Extream. I listen to iTunes Jazz Radio (Stream) on my Mac Pro. Can I listen to it with the help of an Airport Express pluged into a stereo in another room? Please help.
Thank you.
W.W.

Can I listen to it with the help of an Airport Express pluged into a stereo in another room?
Yes, you can use an AirPort Express Base Station (AX) for streaming iTunes audio sources. The AX would just need to be configured as a wireless client by joining the wireless network created by the 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn).

Is there any combination of OS Lion and iTunes that can run radio streams without cutting (rebuffing) it for at least 3-4 hours?

Hello! Is there any combination of OS Lion and iTunes that can run radio streams (primarily pls-streams) without cutting (rebuffing) it for at least 3-4 hours? I am running Lion (10.7.1) on an early-2011 MacBookPro with iTunes 10.3.1 and I am frustrated, because it will cut the stream at least once per hour (it's totally random), while my older MacBook, running Tiger with iTunes 9.2.1 doesn't have any such problems ... Any solution?

Maybe you should upgrade iTunes to the current version - 10.5.3 - and upgrade Lion to 10.7.3.

Radio streaming from Smart Headset Pro to Android phone

Is there an Android app (or could I write one) that plays the radio stream from the Smart Headset Pro, e.g. using the phones speakers if the earplugs are not connected.

Hi there.
I have not seen one.
But you can check our developer blog for more info:

How do I manually download radio stream list in 7.01?

Hello,
I reinstalled Tiger and Itunes 7.01. When I started Itunes for the first time and selected Radio I got a message that the list of radio streams need to be downloaded from the internet which I agreed to. Unfortunately I had forgotten to setup the internet connection so the download failed.
Now the list of radio streams is empty and I'm not asked if I want to download again.
How do I initiate a download of available streams manually?
Regards
Draknet

I tested my previous post with my 'Test' account before posting that reply and it worked.
This is what I did:
Deleted the .plist file, disconnected modem and ran iTunes.
Clicked through the initial questions and clicked on 'Radio'.
Got an completely blank window; reconnected modem, clicked on 'Radio' and the categories appeared. Clicking on the small triangles loaded the streams.
Did the same steps again, but before connecting the modem again, I first quitted iTunes and deleted the .plist file.
Both times it worked and I got the streams.
Sorry, I don't know why it doesn't work on your system.
Your 'Radio' window is completely blank? Not even the categories?

Does iTunes 11 still offer the radio streams that the previous editions did?

Does iTunes 11 still offer the radio streams that the previous editions did? For instance I could listen to Canadian Brodcasting from all over Canada, or NPR stations in different cities. I know they've added a Pandora like feature, but I'd like to keep the streaming radion feature as is.

quote "I think Apple have taken a wrong turn with the new iTunes 11 update by removing some key features. Most concerning for this this writer is the removal of the user generated iMix ecosystem. I am asking iTunes to bring back the iMix and I encourage you to do the same at their feedback page http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I believe honest word of mouth is the best recommendation and the iMix ecosystem contains plenty. There are over zealous self promoters and fanatical fans in there too but at least the content its real opinion and generated by real people. Which is far better that the beefed “Listeners Also Bought” box which just looks like machine generated advertising to me."
I just sent them feedback I suggest everyone do so.

Categories for radio streaming are missing on latest version

Categories for radio streaming are missing on latest version.How do you access them.

Hello squeet4915
Depends on which one you are referring to. You have iTunes radio that will shuffle the songs for based on an artist or genre. Then there is Internet Radio and that will have a bunch of categories for listening to different genres.

ITunes Radio Streams Not Listed

Hi,
After installing the latest version of iTunes on a Windows XP machine, iTunes does not list the radio streams, not even the catagories of radio streams. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get the radio streams visible? Prior to upgrading, the radio streams were available. Also, the computer is behind a company firewall and most, but not all, radio strams are blocked.
Thanks,
Phil

Company has now blocked all iTunes radio streams.
