Hi Jessica and Dan,
Dan's answer (Command-Right Bracket) will work, but it opens ALL 3432
radio streams and takes some time to work initially. The advantage is
that it works whether or not you've interacted with a specific folder
in the Songs Table (for Radio Streams or Podcasts), so a number of
people who used the general shortcut for expanding a folder (VO-
backslash) adopted this Command-Right Bracket shortcut when Leopard
first came out, because at that time opening these folders in iTunes
with Leopard wouldn't work unless you first interacted with the folder
-- possibly explicitly under the column for stream or podcast --
(unlike the case for Tiger). The disadvantage is that you may have a
very long list of entries in your Songs Table. If you want to close
all radio stream folders, you need to be on the folder level in the
songs outline to issue Command-Left Bracket, which closes all radio
stream folders.
I prefer to use VO-backslash to toggle individual folders for either
podcasts or radio streams open and closed (e.g., expanded or
collapsed). Again, you have to issue the command while you are on a
line for the folder in the Songs Outline -- you do not have to be in
the column giving the name of the stream or podcast for VO-backslash
to work.
Also, under iTunes 8 you can use copy and paste to put radio streams
into a playlist.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther

use comand plus right bracket and it will expand the menu and allow

I must be missing something. The area in the radio stream area. The
menus or whatever for each genure are closed and I cannot open them
with vo space bar.
And I think Mike covered it in his podcast. But I didn't hear what
key stroke it was. And I listened to the vo tutorial too and still
have no clue what keystroke it is to expand those menus.
Could someone help me with this?
Thank you.
