Hi David and others, Here are some more pointers on navigating radio streams and other iTunes library options:
1. "Sources" includes your local libraries for Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and Radio Streams; the iTunes Store and a Playlist of Purchased iTunes items; and any Playlists you create. To remove any of these items from the source list, go to the iTunes preferences using the keyboard shortcut of command key with the comma key, then press command-1 to bring up general preferences, and uncheck the boxes. 2. "Songs" is the general location for individual music tracks, radio streams, podcasts, audiobooks, etc. in your library. For podcast subscriptions and radio streams these are grouped in folders for subscription or genre that you expand or collapse with vo keys with the backslash keys. 3. For radio streams, in "Songs" you can either arrow down or type the first letters of the name of a genre or stream. You will be positioned to the first entry that matches what you type. If your genre is open you can quickly navigate to a selected station. There may be versions of each station with higher bit rates. Right arrow to read the station name and continue to right arrow to read bit rate and then description. 4. Another convenient way to get a list of all the radio streams is to print out a song listing. Press command-p and tab to select the song listing radio button. If you want to get full description of bit rate and station description, tab to the pop-up button, which should say song pop-up button, and hold down vo keys with shift key and click. Then arrow down to select "Custom". If you print, you will get a list of all streams and their description fields (but not the stream categories). 5. For other libraries, like Music, when you tab from "Sources" you get to "Search text field" before getting to "Songs". In these cases you can type in a seach string for your music track or podcast episode and you will only get the matching entries when you tab to "Songs". (You can only match what is shown in the "Songs" outline, so if your podcast subscriptions are collapsed you cannot match episode names, but only the subcription.) This works like finder to drill down to items of interest. You can get back to the search field by pressing command-option-f. Type in a new search string and tab over to the "Songs" outline for your selected library. 6. The trick of printing a list of songs or albums in iTunes is convenient. When you use the custom pop-up option you get a list of every field that is displayed for each title. These can be set with the iTunes View options (keyboard shortcut command-j) for each library or playlist. HTH. Cheers, Esther
