old iTunes
« on: October 31, 2003, 12:48:17 PM »
I used to listen to the iTunes a lot, but recently I have noticed that my list of available stations are far fewer than before.
Is it possible this is being phased out?
I don't need to download music, I just like to listen while I am using Photoshop Elements.
Used to love the Blues(especially the stations with no commercials), but all, every single one, of 'my' Blues stations are not on my iTunes list any more.  
I am still using 9.2.2 and iTunes 1.0.1
How do you add stations if this is possible?
Kerbango or something like that pops up when I open iTunes.
Thank you, Jane  verysad.gif

Jane:  Glad you brought it up.  My "Blues" went kaplooie also.  I hadn't used iTunes at home for a while, and just fired it up, the Blues were there, but dissappeared as soo as I clicked on it.  You might check in the "jazz".  There is some blues in there.

But, like you, I'd like to know how to add back stations.

I WANT MY BLUES!!!

That is the exact thing that happened to me too!   I clicked on my list and the Blues just went away, reloaded and reloaded, Gone, gone.  Poof into the sky.

I really enjoyed listening to those stations, as most of them had no or almost no commercials and really good music.

I do have an extensive blues collection of 33 rpms(and some 45s) oh here I go dating myself, some old blues 78s!   I have transferred all of them to tape.  And I have plenty of CDs.  All I want to do is be able to listen to the random new stuff.

Lets see what some of the experts here say, because there must be some way to get the blues back on iTunes(or some other player thingie).

Hmmmmmm...You guys made me curious, because I had not used the "radio" for quite a long time, so I punched up iTunes, and sure enough. . .Same thing, so I guess it's just gone!  Too bad, because they did have some nice things.  I had just fallen into listening to discs, or, since I have a tuner plugged into the Mac, via iMic, listening to the radio. . .One  of those cases of "Use it or Lose it!", I guess.

If more (Blues) options are what you seek, Radio 365 has hundreds of stations of all genres that one may sample and DL to iTunes.

Thank you, Harv,  But according to this, I cannot use my OS 9.2.2 iTunes 1.0.1.  And iTunes 4 is for OS X only.
I wonder if there is any way to just add stations, and not upgrade my iTunes.  That is all I want to do.  iTunes 1.0.1 works perfectly for me.
I have several friends in the same boat, this seems so frustrating, just to want to listen to our good old blues.  
The list you sent us Radio 365 looks as if they have some good ones, all we need to do is get the doggone stations into our iTunes.
Thanks again, Jane

Yes Jane. You can add Stations to your Library. smile.gif

You might want to make a new Playlist. Like "Added Radio Staions".

These directions are for OS X but I think it works the same for OS 9.x smile.gif

"Choose Open Stream from the Advanced menu in iTunes.

Enter the full URL of the file you want to listen to."

(Copy and Paste works).

Then Add this to your Library.

There should be some more Radio Stations mentioned in the Archives.

I'll try to find some later. smile.gif

Kelly, Thank You!  You have made my day!  And all my os 9 friends who love blues too.
I will get started on this in the afternoon, there was a particular Texas Blues station that was awesome.  I will add them too when I remember what they were called.
Thanks again,
Jane  smile.gif

I posted this one time before, but it's worth repeating.

TastyCast has more streaming radio station listings than any place I have seen.

All the stations I listen to are free and/or ask for donations.

I'm listening to streaming audio as I type this message! biggrin.gif

Here is the list or what ever I should call it, that we used to get,
http://www.paradynamic.ca/
Here is the Shoutcast station that we liked the best,
http://yp.shoutcast.com/index.phtml?s=blue...te=any&x=32&y=9
I reduced the URL in case it won't work being so long, I use tinyurl company to do this.

Yeah!  Got it, but it refuses to use iTunes, it comes thru loud and clear using Real Player!

I sure would prefer iTunes, I did love the iTunes display, but if RealPlayer works, so be it.

If you like real Blues, this is the one; ParaDynamic Roadhouse. No talk or commercials.

But I will keep on trying to get iTunes to work,,,,,,

Thanks,  
Jane

I'm not sure why your system is defaulting to RealPlayer but if you don't normally use it, you could remove it.

I don't have RealPlayer. When I visited the shoutcast site and tried one of their links, it opened in iTunes.

TastyCast has links for each format they support, so it's easy to pick the MP3 links.

Hi Bruce,  I tried several, but none of them open in iTunes. Some try to make me download iTunes version 4, but with os 9, that is no good.

How would someone make iTunes their default music player?

Will keep working on this,,,,,,,
Thanks for your continuing help, there are several of us with this problem.

Still can't get iTunes to accept new stations, have tried and tried,
 but we can get everything to play using the basic RealPlayer.

I guess iTunes is beyond our ability to add Blues stations, we are at a roadblock.  It was nice,,,,,,,,,,when it worked.
I wonder if there would be anyone at Apple who could help us, but so far they ignore us.
For a great computer, their tech support for their goodies really is lacking.
I suppose we will give up, and I was thinking of purchasing an iPod, ,,,Oh well,,,,
Thanks anyway,  Jane+friends verysad.gif

Maybe this will help: (copied from Mac Help)


A document doesn't open with the application I selected



In the Finder, you can use the "Open with" pane in the Info window to select an application to open all the documents of the same type and created by the same application as the selected document.



A document of the same type as the original but created with a different application will not open in the application you selected.


To open this document with the application you want to use


1. In the Finder, select the document and choose File > Get Info.
2. In the Info window, click to show the "Open with" pane.
3. Choose the application you want to open the document from the pop-up menu.
4. If you want all documents that are like this one to open with the same application, click Change All.
