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.
Chris

It's in Preferences>Advanced>General.
Hope this helps.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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 use XP. When I open Itunes a mewssage comes up saying, Itune drivers are missing ,please reinstall. I reinstall and I get the same message. I use to be able to use Itunes for copying ,etc. but now I can't.

    I have Itunes on my PC. I used it to burn and copy music which I had on Itunes.  I had some work done on my PC. Now when I open it a message comes up saying, that Itune drivers are missing,
    reinstall Itunes.
    I did that and I still get the same message. What am I doing wrong
    Paul

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • What encoder MP3 uses iTunes for import CD?

    I have a PC with Windows XP SP2 c Windows Media Player 9 with a installed Intervideo XPack (MP3 encoder and DVD codec). My WMP uses to import CD encoder from Intervideo.
    *My question is: what encoder uses iTunes? Own or from Windows?*
    P.S. Sorry for my english, i'm russian.

    I understand iTunes uses its own MP3 encoder and it has performed badly in listening tests.
    http://www.rjamorim.com/test/mp3-128/results.html
    If you want to use MP3 it is probably better to rip your CDs with another program even if you use iTunes for listening.
    This doesn't apply to AAC.

  • HT1338 for itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updtes and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    For itunes 10.7 it is saying that my mac need version OS X needs to be version 10.8.6 - how do i get this? There are no current software updates and i cant use iTunes for my new iphone 5

    I think you meant 10.6.8, not 10.8.6
    It requires an upgrade, instead of a free update.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
    http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
    It's been pulled from the online store & Apple Stores, so you have to call Apple to buy it, last I heard.

  • Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection?

    I am using an ipad mini 2, second generation. I plugged it in to itunes and there was an update avaible for ios 8. Can I update iOs using itunes without internet connection? Thank you

    iTunes needs an internet connection to download the update if it has not already. Then it needs to verify the update with Apple servers prior to installation.
    So in short, no, you do need at least some form of internet access to update.

  • 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

  • Use airport for internet and ethernet for local?

    Hi. Ive searched around and cant find an answer for this.
    I have a 27" imac connected to my router and all works fine for accessing the internet.
    I have several other devices close by that I want to connect via ethernet. If i connect the imac to another router via ethernet I can browse my local devices but loose internet connectivity. It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected. I don't want my second router to act as a bridge as it doesn't support N speeds.
    Essentially, I want the imac to use airport for internet and the ethernet port for local files.... The only workaround I have is to unplug the ethernet cable from the back of the imac when i want to use the internet. I'm hoping it's just a DNS issue, but cant seem to resolve it.
    I do not need internet connectivity for the other devices and don't see how i can do that without enabling the wireless side of my second router and then creating a bridge...
    Any suggestions?

    It is as if the imac will suspend the airport connection while the ethernet cable is connected.
    The Connection Order on your iMac is set so that if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", the iMac will give priority to the Ethernet connection.
    If you want to configure your iMac so that it gives priority to an AirPort connection if both AirPort and Ethernet are "on", give this a try:
    Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock) and open Network
    Click on the small gear icon at the bottom of the connection list on the left
    Click on Set Service Order and drag AirPort to the top of the connection order list
    Click OK, then click Apply
    Now, if both AirPort and Ethernet are active, your iMac will give priority to the AirPort connection. If you want to connect using Ethernet, you will have to turn AirPort off by clicking the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your computer screen.

  • Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

    Can i use cdma for internet and gsm for phone at a time in Iphone4s?

    No. Phones sold by GSM carriers can't access CDMA at all and phones sold by CDMA carriers can only access GSM if they are a) unlocked and b) in an area where there is not CDMA.
    Best of luck.
