Unsetting Option -- Use iTunes for Internet Music Playback

In the advanced pane of the iTunes Systems Preferences, there is an Option -- "Use iTunes for Internet Music Playback". You can click on the SET button to use this feature.
But how do you UNSET it? I no longer want to use ITunes for Internet Music Playback.
I am running iTunes 7.02 and Tiger 10.4.8.

  • How to unset the 'use itunes for internet music playback' option

    In Advanced Preferences, I mistakenly clicked the SET button for "Use itunes for internet music playback". Since then, I have closed and opened itunes, so it appears the preference has been saved (the field is no longer highlighted)
    I cannot find any way to unset this option. I want to unset this option. Could someone please tell me how?

    I don't think that deleting the plist file will help.
    Clicking that button sets the handler for a bunch of file types. You can't just unset it, you need to set the handler to something other than iTunes. Normally audio and video are handled by the Quicktime Plugin. You can restore that behavior in System Preferences:
    System Preferences -> QuickTime (in the Internet and Network set) -> Advanced -> Mime Settings...
    You may have other plugins or programs you want to use for some formats (like .wmv or .avi). Those programs should be able to reclaim the file and MIME types from their preferences.

  • How to Disable "Use itunes for internet playback"?

    I accidentally clicked the SET button in itunes which defaults itunes for internet playback.
    I do not want this.
    How do I revert back?
    I DO NOT want to use itunes for internet playback and I can not find any way to shut it off.

    Here's one way around it. For example, open iTunes, open the radio playlist and drag any station to the desktop. Highlight the icon, and click Command i. In the Info window there is a command "Open with:" It probably has iTunes as the default. If so, hold down the arrow for a menu of applications to choose from. (Mine has RealPlayer and Quicktime available.) If those aren't listed, choose "Other.." A window will open with available applications. Choose one and close the Info window. Open the application you've chosen. The controls will appear. Click Command o (Open). In the desktop window choose your radio station and play. I hope this works for you. It should work for any streaming source. Now if some body could tell me how to stop those irritating "rebuffering" interruptions, that'd be great.

  • Use iTunes for internet radio - settings question

    Hi all,
    I have a Linn Klimax DS (digital streaming) unit as part of an audio system, and that's being fed over my Cat5 network by a Twonky MediaServer installed on one of my mac's. That Twonky setup has SHOUTcast enabled and was serving internet radio fine and identified the stations until I installed iTunes 8 yesterday. I made the mistake of clicking on the button that says 'Use iTunes for Internet radio' in the preferences-> advanced->general pane.
    Basically, I need to find out what precisely that setting actually does under the hood, so I can use the command line to reset that, turn it off, or undo basically what it did set.
    Hope someone can shed a bit of light on that, maybe even just a hint, as I have been through the console logs, but haven't seen anything that jumps out at me. Thanks in advance for any help.

  • ITunes for classical music

    iTunes' structures are for "songs" (one song, one track). A CD of classical music contains one or more "works", each consisting of one or more "movements" (usually one track, one movement). How can I store and manage classical music with iTunes, or are there any alternative applications?

    Obviously, different users will have different approaches to this problem.
    I too am an avid fan of classical music (my iTunes library is over 90% classical). I'm not a great fan of a multiplicity of playlists, though, so I adopt a different approach. I have separate genres for different types of musical pieces — Chamber, Instrumental, Vocal, Operatic and so on. I then have one enclosing folder in my Source list (I call it Classical Categories), within which I have a number of smart playlists (Chamber Music, Concerto, Instrumental, Orchestral, Symphonic). I view these smart playlists as lists grouped with artwork and sort these lists by composer. This has the effect of neatly dealing with those situations where the original CD contains works by different composers, since it separates these out and displays them separately. CDs devoted to music by a single composer still remain grouped as a single item, but viewing as a list grouped with artwork helps make each CD stand out from its neighbours and aids clarity.
    Using the search field within any of my smart playlists gives me instant access, for example, to all symphonies or all concertos (or whatever) by any single composer. In many ways, indeed, iTunes has proved to be a better way to access music in my library than was ever possible with physical CDs on shelves — I've lost track of the number of times I've found it frustratingly difficult to find a particular piece of music 'in the old days' because it was part of a CD which I'd filed under a different composer's name because music by that composer was what I bought the CD for originally.
    As I say, we'll all find different solutions to the problem of using iTunes for classical music, but I'm happy with mine. What would be wonderfully helpful would be for Apple to introduce into iTunes the grouping by 'Work' which they use in the iTunes Store. I also wish they'd drop the use of that word 'song', which is so frustratingly inappropriate in a classical context, and replace it with 'track'. I've submitted feedback about these points on numerous occasions. Perhaps Apple will address the needs of classical collectors at some time in the future.

  • I have been using iTunes for years to connect to radio and just recently tried to get on and sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tuning service. Check your internet connection or try again later "  I do but the same respons

    I have been using iTunes for years to connect to the radio and just recently tried to tune in and an error sign pops up stating " A error occurred while contracting the radio tunning service. Check your internet connection or try again later." There's no problrm with my internet service so what's up?

    You are probably using an old version of iTunes with which the stream link service seems to have stopped working for many users of older iTunes.  No, Apple makes no comment about this kind of thing.  It may reappear, it may not (it has been dead for over a week now).  Your solution is to upgrade the operating system version on your computer from 10.5.8 to 10.6.8 so you can run a newer iTunes, or live without.  You can still open streams if you can get the URL, and you can then save them as playlist items.

  • I have been using itunes for 6 years now, and was listening to my music the other day and noticed that some of my songs were stopping short of finishing.

    I have been using itunes for 6 years now, and was listening to my music the other day and noticed that some of my albums songs were stopping short of finishing. They just stop and go to the next song. Any solutions? 

    I have experienced the same problem on my my iPad1, my former iPhone 4 my laptop and even my new iPhone5  though I had really hoped that the new phone and IOS would solve the problem.  About 5% of the songs are affected and the stoppage can range from seconds short to a minute and a half.  The file shows more of the music left, but it stops playing and goes to the next song.  Very aggravating.  Appears to happen on purchased and uploaded music.
    Any help Apple?

  • I bought an ipd shuffle for my daughter. I have old songs from frostwire that I downloaded on the shuffle.  When I try to play the songs, I get "Please use Itunes to sync music".  What does that mean?

    I bought an ipod shuffle and downloaded old limewire songs onto it. The ipod says "Please use itunes to sync music".  What does that mean? Do I have to download from Itunes only?  thanks,  Jester

    Dear jester,
    Apple created iTunes to try and stop piracy, and if you look at the lime wire site, it says they were shut down for piracy.
    You will have you buy all the music through iTunes or you can download music to iTunes from a CD.
    I hope this help you.

  • Mirroring iTunes for sound/music archive?

    Hi,
    I'm currently working in a postproduction company for a German News Television station. We have recently changed to Final Cut.
    We'd like to us iTunes for our music archive and this is where the problem starts:
    Basically we'd like to be able to have a shared library folder for all of our 5 editing suites from which we can work at the same time. The folder would of course be on a network drive. This is important, as we'd like to have the same library accessible to everyone and being updated instantly whenever someone adds music to it.
    Why we can’t just use the ‘shared music’ – option: We need to be able to feed the Information with tags manually that aren’t provided automatically by iTunes and we would like to have ONE library rather then 5 different ones. Plus only one of the editing suites is connected to the Internet, which is necessary for automatically downloading ID3-Tags.
    We were thinking about external FireWire Harddrives which are synced every other week, which then is of course more work and we'd have to tell iTunes every time that new music has been added to the library folder.
    It would be fantastic if anyone knows a way how to make this happen, a way to work around it or any another feasible solution.
    Bye,
    Sandro

    You can have two iTunes libraries on your computer, or more if you wish. I have four on mine for various purposes, all in the same Mac OS X user account (you can also have multiple Mac OS X user accounts, each which its own iTunes library).
    To create a new iTunes library, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    Navigate to wherever you wish to create the new library (I'd suggest having a separate folder for it so that all the files are contained) and click the Create Library button. That will create a new, empty iTunes library. You can then use that library for your background music and sound effects. To switch back and forth between libraries, just again launch iTunes with the Option key held down, click the Choose Library button, and select the appropriate library.
    BTW, are you familiar with SoundByte? It's software that simulates the functionality of the cartridge players used in many radio stations. I don't know if that would be of interest to you, but I thought I'd mention it.
    Regards.

  • Using iTunes For Multiple iPod's

    Hey,
    Anyone know how to use iTunes for two iPod's without the songs being erased and all that ...kind of like having two seperate library folders.
    Thanks In Advance,

    Well there are two way to go about this.
    Number 1. Having seperate windows accounts, with iTunes on both, will give you seperate libraries.
    Number 2. Set both iPods to update Automatically but to only the playlists you select. This will keep your playlists on it and whatever you don't want on there off. Same goes for the other iPod.
    I myself use the number 2 option for my iPod Video and my Moms Nano. The only thind you got to remember, if you plan on updating or if you added new music and want it on your iPod, is to select the new playlist you made. This options works great

    Setting up syncing
    Tutorial:
    Before setting up syncing you should download and install the latest version of iTunes. Wi-Fi syncing requires iTunes 10.5 or later and iOS 5 or later. You can change your sync options at any time. Each time you sync, content is synced between your iOS device and computer to reflect new, updated, or deleted content.
    USB syncing
    Open iTunes.
    Connect the iOS device to your computer using the included USB cable and select it in iTunes under Devices on the left-hand side:
    Some tabs may not appear if you do not have corresponding content in your library. For example, if you do not have any podcasts in your library, the corresponding Podcast tab will not appear.
    Click Apply, in the lower-right corner of the screen, to sync.
    Wi-Fi syncing
    Open iTunes
    To set up Wi-Fi syncing, connect your iOS device to your computer with the included USB cable. Select your device under Devices on the left-hand side.
    In the Summary tab, select "Sync with this [device] over Wi-Fi".
    Whenever the computer and the iOS device are on the same network, the iOS device will appear in iTunes, and you can sync it. The iOS device will sync automatically when all of the following are true:
    The iOS device is plugged in to power
    iTunes is open on the computer
    The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network
    While the iOS device appears in the left-hand column of iTunes, you can select the content tabs and configure sync options.
    Click Apply or Sync to sync the iOS device.
    If the iOS device does not appear in the Devices section or you are unable to sync, please see this article for troubleshooting.
    What you can sync
    Applications
    Audio content—music, podcasts, audiobooks, and iTunes U content
    Bookmarks
    Books
    Contacts
    Calendars
    Movies and TV shows
    Photos
    Notes
    Documents (File Sharing apps only)
    Ringtones
    Additional Information
    The first time you sync the Info tab with your iOS device, you are asked if you want to merge data, replace data on the service, or replace the data on your computer from the following applications:
    Mac: Address Book, iCal, Microsoft Entourage, or Microsoft Outlook 2011
    PC: Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Windows Addressbook (XP) and Windows Contacts (Vista and Windows 7)
    For more information about syncing your device with your computer, see the user's guide or see this article.

  • How do I use itunes to transfer music to my ipod while offline?

    hello!
    i was wondering how i can use itunes to xfer music while disconnected to the net.
    as it is right now (itunes v7.1), i get a message "cannot access itunes store", and will not bring up the usual menus on the left side of the itunes window where i view my music, vids, photos, and playlists.
    needless to say, i dont even HAVE and itunes store account. it would be lovely if i could disable itunes store, but hey, i'm sure thats been made impossible.
    thanks in advance!

    for some reason when itunes first installs a new version, it opens up to the iTunes Store. Since you don't have net connection, its going to error out.
    But the fact that you can't see any of the other items, I would recommend redownloading iTunes (and Quicktime to be sure) and reinstalling it and see if that helps.
    Just for the record, can you click on the Library icon?

  • What high end A/V Receivers use iTunes to stream Music, Pictures and Videos to a TV ?

    I'm going to be purchasing a high end a/v receiver and need one that uses iTunes to stream music, piuctures and videos to my TV. Any recommendations?

    I don't believe there is a receiver that supports AirPlay of video and photos. Many will AirPlay audio however you'll probably have to use an Apple TV for photos and video.
