Trying to add KPLU jazz radio station to itunes or desk top

Hi good people:
I have been trying to add the jazz radio station, KPLU, to my Library in iTunes and have got as far as listing it in the library but I can't onpen it up to play the music. I have imported plug ins and tried all most everything. Some time ago I had it on my desk top and all I had to do was click it, and on she came.
Thanks for your help: Fred

Fred,
Which link on this page http://www.kplu.org/whatson/indexlisten.cgi are you trying to listen to.
I tried this one:
New: Shoutcast MP3 32k Stream
Click here to launch in your player of your own choice
and it launches in iTunes with no problem.
If you're trying one of the AACplus streams, you're out of luck with iTunes.
VLC (Google for VLC if you don't know what it is) however does support AACplus. Drop the downloaded link on the VLC-window and off you go.
The AACplus 20K by the way definitely sounds better than the 32K mp3 stream.
AACplus 48K requires a plug-in, which is not available for Mac
Strike this last remark. See edit.

Just tried the 48K link. Doesn't require a plug-in at all. Sounds good in VLC

  • 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.

  • Can I add radio stations to iTunes?

    Thanks Ryan, but how in the name of our dear lord in heaven do I add a radio station to a smart playlist.
    All I have is the URL:
    http://www.garnierstreamingmedia.com/asx/radio538.asp
    So no drag+drop.

    Baltimore, Maryland Yes, you can add radio stations to iTunes. However, you cannot add the radio stations to the “Radio” source in the source list. You only have the ability to add radio stations into the “Library” source.
    You can always make a Smart Playlist, though, and name it something such as “My Radio Stations” or a name of your choice. What this will do is organize all of your personal radio stations that are not listed in the "Radio" source and create easy access and some organization to your downloaded internet radio stations in iTunes. To find internet radio stations, here are a few links:
    • DDance.FM Digital Dance Radio
    • Macstreams/Rogue Amoeba
    • Live365.com
    • UK Radio Stations
    • Shoutcast
    • Radio-Locator (not the best for locating online radio feeds)
    There are other sites, of course. When you go to these sites, you will see lists of internet radio stations. To get the station of your choice into iTunes, you will need to download either the .pls, .m3u, or .mp3 file from that station. Once the file has downloaded, find it on your computer and double-click it. This should open iTunes. Note: XM Radio Online will not work for this. If it ever does work, I will update this. Sorry! If not, drag the file into iTunes Library and it will import into your library. Now, onto organizing and creating the Smart Playlist of your internet radio stations.
    To create a Smart Playlist based on the internet radio stations you have downloaded, go to File > New Smart Playlist. A window will appear asking you for information. Make sure the “Match the following condition:” box is checked. From the first drop down menu, choose “Kind.” From the second drop down menu, choose “is”. To the right of that is a blank field where you can enter in what kind of file you wish to have in this Smart Playlist. You will want to add “MPEG audio stream” (without quotes) in that field.
    Lastly, check the box that says “Live Updating” which will update your Smart Playlist of radio stations when you add more stations to your library. Then whenever you want to listen to your favorite radio station, you can click on that Smart Playlist in the source list and you will see all the internet radio stations you have added to iTunes.
    Enjoy the music!
    Note: There is no way of adding an internet radio station to the "Radio" source list in iTunes. Contacting Apple more than likely won't yield a response, but you can list your station on Shoutcast, Live365, RogueAmoeba (links listed above) to be seen and heard by listeners worldwide.
    iTunes does not support Windows Media Player format or Real Player One format, so those streams cannot be played through iTunes and must be played through their respective applications.

    I read the answer to this question and appreciated the information, but where on the web do you find the sources that were listed - namely:
    • DDance.FM Digital Dance Radio
    • Macstreams/Rogue Amoeba
    • Live365.com
    • UK Radio Stations
    • Shoutcast
    • Radio-Locator (not the best for locating online radio feeds)
    I would like to add internet stations, too, but don't know how to find the stations.

  • Import radio stations from iTunes Radio to Music app.

    Hi.
    You have the Music app and can listen to radios on iphone5s.
    While I have some favorite radio stations in the "radio" of itunes on Mac PC, those are not listed on Music app on iphone5s.
    How do you import radio stations from iTunes Radio to Music app.
    I tried searching genre after tapping on + button in My Stations, but there is no genre I want to add, which is "ambient: a-a lounge".
    I also know the way to listen to the radio station on Safari, but what I want to do is listen them on the Music app.
    Any addvice?
    Thank you.

    I found a cool radio station on itunes, can I record
    some music, save and put on my ipod? Thanks! Denise
    I should clarify that. I guess I could record the radio to a CD, put that on itunes, then ipod. But can I leave out the step of the CD? In other words, will itunes record from itself?

  • Adding Fav Radio Station to iTunes

    I understand that only Apple can add a radio station to their "radio" section...why?
    I also understand that it is possible to add our fav radio station to our playlist.
    Having some trouble adding our college radio station to iTunes.
    The URL I use for Windows Media Player is:
    http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/wqun_am.asx
    Anyway I can listen to this via iTunes.

    I just was trying to add a radio station according to the terse instructions on http://www.kdvs.org/listen/
    The iTunes online help declares, "You can't record or save a song from a radio broadcast, but you can add your favorite stations to your library or to a playlist so that you can tune in easily."
    Finally found a way that worked. Once playing in iTunesI tried to drag and drop the icon into Radio. Logical, no? Would't work. The link stays in the Music Library and will not be moved. How in the heck is a continuous radio stream considered a music entity??? Dumb.

  • How to stream talk radio on iTunes 12.  Was able to do so on iTunes 11, but can't find the radio stations on iTunes 12.

    Just upgraded to iTunes 12 - and now cannot stream local radio stations on iTunes.  I've looked under the RADIO section but the upgrade deleted my stations.  When I try to ADD a radio station - the iTunes 12 Search doesn't find it...  I was able to find and stream this same radio station with iTunes 11.  The iTunes 12 upgrade wiped out my history and radio stations.  Has anyone figured out how to add back individual radio stations?

    Hey bbhillfarm,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble finding the Internet Radio section of the new iTunes 12. The following resource should point you in the correct direction:
    Listen to Internet radio - iTunes Help
    http://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/12/#/itns2946
    Tune in to Internet stations
    1. Click the Internet Radio button   near the top left of the iTunes window (if you don’t see it, click ).
    2. To see the available stations, click the triangle next to the type of music you want to listen to.
    3. To tune in, double-click a station.
    If you use a dial-up modem to connect to the Internet, choose a station with a bit rate of less than 48 kilobits per second (kbps) for best results. To see a station’s bit rate, select the station, then choose File > Get Info.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I cannot access the various radio stations in iTunes on my iPad

    I cannot access the various radio stations in iTunes on my ipad2

    So, If you want to listen to a station you love from itunes, check the info for the station in iTunes. Highlight the station and look in the File menu for "Get Info," (Ctrl+I is the keyflick in most systems). At the bottom of the summary page is an item "Where" which lists the URL for the station.
    Grab your iOS device, start up a browser and enter the URL into the address window. You'll be streaming that station in no time, without adding another app!
    A little less user friendly than native to iTunes, but you don't have to search for new stations this way.
    I hope this helps!

  • How to submit a radio station to iTunes?

    I want to know how to submit a radio station to iTunes.
    I represent 5 stations with over 500,000 tune-ins per month serving 600,000 THL (total listening hours). But Apple doesn't make it easy to submit something of this magnitude, unless I just don't have the right decoder ring.
    If someone has any hints, clues, or the right decoder ring - could ya help?
    Many thanks - this is the most annoying bug of iTunes, that no one can solve.
    -Tek

    Sorry, but there's no mechanism for getting a station added to the iTunes Tuner list. No one outside of Apple knows who's running the server that maintains the list since 3Com shut down Kerbango, the previous host of the list, and for some unknown reason Apple has not provided any way of contacting the current provider or administrator for making changes or additions.
    I can only guess why this is the case; perhaps Apple doesn't want to bog iTunes down with potentially a huge list of stations (there are after all hundreds if not thousands of iTunes-compatible streams available) and so only provides a sampling.
    You might want to consider listing your station through Live 365 or ShoutCast or another such streaming service. That would get it to the attention of a lot of people.

    Why is my Justice radio station on iTunes never play songs of Justice?

    Most likely because Apple did not get a license to do so.
