Does anyone know if there is a problem? Sep 19, AM. I'm using iTunes on my mac and it would only play one song per radio station and then it won't play anymore. It's hugely frustrating. I can't get it to work.
It works on my iOS devices. Even if I created my own stations, it doesn't work. Does anyone have similar issues? Updated to Paused, added 3 more stations, now none work. Deleted all, tried Beatles station. I am having the same issue I was able to listen to one or two songs on my iPhone, one on my MacBook and now I can't listen to any!
Piling on. Having the same issue on MacBook Air. Upgraded IOS and Radio played one song and now won't play anything. Frustrating, feels like Microsoft. Sep 19, PM. I created one new station and it played ONE song then stopped. I tried the default stations at the top and Katy Perys station played, but none of the others - this leads me to believe the issue it not on my end.
I deleted my custom station and created it again - this time it wouldnt play anything. I was having this exact same issue in iTunes on my MBP and was able to resolve it. Didn't work for me. I've been using my iPad the whole morning. Tried my iPhone too. Both worked but switching back to MBP, then it stopped working. Just can't play on the mac.
Well that wont work for me, my iPhone is an old 3 series which will not accept the new OS - so no new iTunes nor iRadio on my iPHone - just my laptop. Perhaps a dumb question, but does Apple communicate anywhere what their known issues are so people aren't just left hanging wondering what is going on? Communities Get Support.

How does that differ from iTunes 'Internet' radio service. I took this up with Winston the other day and he showed me that the internet option still exists. And it does, and it works and I have no subscription to Apple music or Beats1. Could this be that my old Or is this where the advertising element comes into play.
Feb 1, PM in response to seventy one In response to seventy one. The internet Radio service lists third-party streaming radio stations which are nothing to do with Apple, and are also available on other devices such as internet radios like the Pure or Roberts.
Apple Radio consists of streaming stations run by Apple. Beats 1 is still free, but the others which were free in the USA though not in the UK are now rolled into Apple Music and require the subscription. Apple Music does not show on the version of iTunes which runs on This is how it looks in the current iTunes.
The old Internet Radio stations are available from the three-dots menu at left of the menu bar. I guess that's what happens when you stick with the old brigade It's here to make Apple a boatload of money. Like its daddy, iTunes Music is boring, and packed with shortcomings and missed opportunities all of which can be traced back to the simple fact that iTunes isn't made for users any more. And that's a shame, because it should by all rights be the very best streaming service there is.
On the surface, it's easy to look at iTunes Radio simply as Apple's extremely belated entrance to the fray. Since Pandora launched in , dozens of competing products have cropped up, but the core artist-based radio feature works pretty much the same way every time. Apple simply copied it: Punch in the name of an artist, and iTunes Radio will be your DJ, playing music similar to what you like.
Every now and then, you'll hear and ad, which theoretically pays for the free music you're listening to. Like other playlist generators, iTunes Radio offers a degree of tweakability, including the option to build a station from multiple artists, and a variety slider that dictates whether you'd like to hear just the hits, or if you're in the mood to learn about new music. For the first time in its history, iTunes has meaningfully embraced social sharing let's all just agree that Ping never happened directly from iTunes with a "Share Station" that lets you easily blast your latest jam to Twitter from any screen; no more navigating to the iTunes Store just to tweet.
It's not a stream of what your friends listen to, but it's a start. As far as features go, the only significant difference between iTunes Radio and the rest of an increasingly crowded field is that every song that's playing comes with Buy link so that you can purchase a song and download it to your computer.
Which is telling. As with all iTunes purchases, you'll be able to download over and over from iCloud for eternity. So far, we haven't described anything special here, but there are a lot of reasons iTunes Radio might succeed in capturing a huge user base anyway. Apple did a lot right.
First of all, the mobile version in iOS 7 is beautiful and dead simple to use. It's Juicy Fruit for the eyes. And beyond just the interface, iTunes Radio will almost certainly be an improvement on its closest competitor, Pandora, on sheer volume alone. Pandora's odd million users have access to approximately one million tracks, which is nothing when you consider that Spotify and Rdio both boast "more than 20 million songs" and iTunes Radio reportedly has a solid 27 million tracks at its disposal.
What's more, Apple's trove of data about music listening habits and libraries thanks Genius! Apple's got the data to make a really good radio product. And they've leveraged it into something that's entirely competent. My experience using the iTunes Music beta matches the anecdotal experience of others who report that iTunes Radio is better than Pandora—if only because there is less repetition.
For its very limited functionality, iTunes Radio is very good at what it does. By the end of the week, iTunes Radio is going to appear on the phones and computers of millions of people as a consequence of a larger software update. Consider that iTunes already has more than million registered users who can now just listen to radio when they want to.
You don't need to download Pandora or Spotify, or sign up for a new account. We're lazy. It'll work. So iTunes Radio will be a winner by volume and by default, not because of any features or deals that have forced the music industry to evolve and improve its models.
That's disappointing to say the least considering Apple had the Genius data, the corporate power, the financial leverage, the user base, and the design talent to make magical and revolutionary happen all over again.
