Streaming live BBC radio through itunes

I've just installed an airport express to listen to music in my kitchen.
I'd also like to listen to the radio - streamed through itunes - in my kitchen, but can't work out how to do this.
Can I either use set my browser to play streamed audio through my airport express, or can I stream radio through itunes?
Thanks

BBC internet radio isn't compatible with iTunes. You can read more at this BBC link: Can I listen live to BBC Radio stations using iTunes?

Recently we changed our Lynksys router to an Airport Extreme and now my MacBook Pro running 10.6.8 will not stream radio through Itunes without constantly rebuffering. Any ideas?

Id like my college radios stream to be available through itunes radio..

Hi,
I am the Program Director at my university's radio station, and would like the stream to be available through iTunes Radio. I have read through some old threads on here that sounded similar to my question, but nothing really helped me find a solution or a dead end.
any help would be appreciated. thanks

I know I've seen stations disappear from the lists - Radio Paradise comes to mind even though it's back now. And the number of stations in the Eclectic list is huge (130+) compared to the early days of iTunes.
It's definitely a strange little backwater area of iTunes that gets little attention, but it's hardly a static environment.

BBC Radio on iTunes - Sorry, I know this question has been asked a lot

Hi all,
I'm having trouble searching the forum for an answer, so I'll pose the question which I'm sure has been answered many times in the past.
The BBC's audio streams are fantastic. Now that I've installed the "Remote" on my iPod Touch, I'm keen to listen to their streams in iTunes rather than the BBC iPlayer.
Is it possible to add any of their streams to iTunes? At minimum, the Worldservice?
Steve

I have also wondered about this. Want to hear the world service without opening RealPlayer or Safari. Tried to open a stream with the adress from RealPlayer, but that didn't work. Maybe iTunes doesn't support RealAudio? Also tried the adresse you get when opening a stream from BBC Radio's homepage, but that didn't work either. This stream should be in windows media format. I have got Flip for Mac installed and updated. Any ideas out there?

Radio through itunes on ipod touch?

I know you can play streaming radio through iTunes on a computer, so is there a way to do that through iTunes or Music apps on the ipod touch? I know you can get third party apps like AOL Radio, but the problem is those won't play in the background while you use another app. The Music app as far as I know is the only thing that will run in the background, so is there a way to get streaming radio through there?

I use This one, but it's limited to Clear-Channel stations.
As deggie said, there are a lot of them now.

Playing live radio through iTunes

I used to have a selection of radio stations to play live through itunes and it's gone on the new version. How can I listen live. I need to go through iTunes- not just the station stream, to use my speakers
thanks

Again, it sounds like a bandwidth issue. What kind of connection do you have? What speed? How reliable is it?
What other programs are you running at the same time?

Radio through iTunes shutting off

I listen to NPR through iTunes every day. Lately it has been shutting itself off every 10 minutes and I cannot find what is causing this to happen.

ATV hung up playing radio through itunes

I am trying to play iRadio through my ATV's and through my iTunes. In both cases the Radio appears to lock up after only a few seconds of playing. If i am playing the iRadio through my PC iTunes it appears to be playing normally, but, does play to ATV. Is there a way to test connections or trouble shoot why this is happening? Last night we played iRadio off of ATV for several hours with no issue.

Why does the transmission of music from a radio programme via itunes keep stalling? this also happens when I am playing a video on line.

Listening to BBC Radio

Is there anyway of listening to BBC radio through itunes?
I have tried to use BBC feeds through realplayer but i can't get it to work, it just keeps timing out, even with the newest real 10 and searching the help pages.
Wondered if I could avoid other software and use itunes.
IMAC G5 20 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Thanks for that, I have loaded Steam, it seems to work but I can't get any music, all I get is the error.
RealPlayer: Connection to server has timed out.
You may be experiencing network problems.

This is the same when I try to listen direct from the BBC. Any ideas what is wrong? Could be my settings??

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?

When I am listening to the radio (streaming through itunes) my macbook pro will log me out, quitting all the applications I have running (often firefox, word processing, itunes, etc). Why?
It's very frustrating and I don't understand why it happens. It might happen other times, but I notice it the most when I'm streaming the radio through itunes, though I think it's also happened when I'm streaming music or shows from NPR, so I don't actually know if it's an itunes thing, or an internet thing? Or just my computer being stupid? But how can I fix it?
Thanks!

My best guess at this point is a problem wwith 10.5.8
It seems clear to me that sometimes, seemingly randomly, software will access the video card (flash player, quicktime, Safari's HTML5 video player, etc) and it will cause a freeze and then log out.
However - it could just be video card + processor under load.
This didnt happen before 10.5.8 and I'm thinking it's not the new 27" display causing the issue.
I'm going to attempt to find time to revert back to 10.5.0 and then combo update back up to 10.5.7 which may be difficult as our IT is remote and we don't have access to Snow Leopard discs.
I may just have to bring my own in.

Anyone else getting interference, crackle, whistling noise on BBC radio streams?

I have been listening to BBC Radio on iTunes for years - and it has had its issues - but generally pretty solid.
I have recently noticed a background whistling/whine/crackle in the background. I don't get it on iPlayer or the live web stream from the BBC, but with the iTunes stream I get it on all my PC's and Mac in the house.
Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Or is anyone having the same issue?
Not sure if its something wrong with my LAN or other local issue. Any insight much appreciated.
Andy

Pretty sure this is the same issue...
iTunes - Strong noise since update

Error streaming BBC radio feeds through RealPlayer...

Problem
I am experiencing a problem with the version of Realplayer Mobile pre-loaded on a Nokia E90 running Symbian S60 (version s60.30.19.02M 10-May-2007 09:58:18). The problem occurs when trying to stream the BBC live radio feeds at www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/radio/listen after selecting an ‘RM’ feed there is a couple of seconds pause followed by the error message “Disconnected. Try connecting again?”
Environment
The phone is connecting through my home wifi router (a Netgear WGT624v2) which acts as my network hub. This network hub services a home PC and a work laptop base station, via Ethernet cables, and also to various wifi devices such as PSP’s, laptops and the phone.
The internet connection is supplied by a broadband router (an SMC SMC7404 BRA UK) connected into the wifi network hub via Ethernet
All devices – the mobile, the hub, the broadband router – are running on the current firmware versions.
The wifi connection to the phone works for both web and email. Realplayer mobile plays video and music files.
Further Information
I can successfully stream the www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/radio/listen feeds over my home PC (Windows XP service pack 3) using RealPlayer (Version 11.0.3 Helix Powered Build: 6.0.14.806) which obviously routes through the wifi hub and the broadband router.
On casting around various forums I notice that there may be an issue with Realplayer mobile using different ports than Realplayer. Although, there seems to be no official information on the port settings someone has suggested the range of 6970 to 7170 on UDP is correct. Although, I’m uncomfortable opening such a large range I have allowed port forwarding on the wifi hub to the mobile (no, the mobile is not using a static IP address but I have confirmed that the IP address is correct).
I have also opened both 6970 and 7170 ports on the broadband router for UDP (note not the full range.
Correspondingly, the Realplyer mobile Streaming settings on the phone are :
Proxy->Use Proxy : “No”
Network->Default Access point: “mywifihub”
Network->Online Time: “Unlimited”
Network->Lowest UDP port: “6970”
Network->Highest UDP port: “7170”
Help ?
I’m obviously looking for some guidance here. Can someone please solve my problem ?
I’d like to know:
• Why is realplayer mobile is connecting in a different way to realplayer ?
• What are the ports that realplayer mobile requires, and why does it need them ?
• Is there anything else I need to do to get this thing working ?
Many Thanks,
colin

The mobile listening page on the BBC site is OK for live streams, but if you want to listen to programmes that have already been broadcast, you need to go to the "listen again" page.
I have this working today, perhaps because the BBC have fixed it (I'm sure I tried the same thing the other day).
Here is an example for Radio 3:
* Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/listen/index.shtml
* Find the paragraph that starts: "But if you want to listen to a programme broadcast in the last 7 days..."
* Click on the link: BBC Radio3 iPlayer
* Choose the programme you wish to listen to. Episodes of
daily programmes can be found for the week after they have been broadcast: click on "show more episodes"
* Click on the link of the programme you wish to hear.
* A message comes up, inviting you to click on a link to listen in Real Player
* Click that and Real Player opens. Adjust volume using right or left joystick button.
You cannot fast forward or rewind programme, but at least you can listen.
Wonderful. My only minor gripe now is the number of clicks necessary, but at least it works.
A quicker way, and definitely the best of you are using a normal computer rather than a smart phone, is to go to the programme's own page, and follow the link to the last programme(s). On S60 you get the invitation to click to open real player for less than a second, followed by the suggestion to instal Real Player.
Check it out in a few days, when I guess they'll have fixed this much more practical route.
Do post back if this works for you, or if anything is not clear.
I tried this on an E90, but I suppose any S60 phone should handle it.
