I agree with your points, but there's never been a lack of competition for Pandora in the radio streaming space. A lot of what I like about iTunes Radio though has to do with it's integration into the OS, the lock screen, the Control Center and so on. I wonder how much of this is available to Apple's competition.

I use itunes radio more then pandora now. I use pandora for comedy,
since itunes radio does not have comedy. I use it more for music. i
listen to a lot of old school r&B. I think itunes radio is awesome. I
think it is also good to have compitition as far as radio streaming
services go.

If you use iTunes Match, you'll get more skips per hour than if you
don't, but contrary to the conventional wisdom before iTunes Radio's
release, you don't get unlimited skips. Subscribing to iTunes Match
also makes iTunes Radio ad free.

I have found that if I hit the next button to move to the next song,
you will reach a point where you can't move forward through the songs
being played and the forward button goes dimmed.  Going back several
songs will then activate the next button again but only those few
songs so, it does appear that there is a limit on the number of times
you can jump forward. I'd suspect that the same would hold true in
reverse.

HI Rose and All,

Try this;

Go into iTunes Radio on your Mac and interact with the Featured
Stations Area. Navigate with VO, to the next Featured Stations area
you find, and interact with it as well.

Once in this area, just use the plain left and right arrows to
navigate the stations. I've found that though many of them say
dimmed, when you navigate back through them once again, they will
read properly. This seems like it may be a VO issue.

Hope this works for you. Let me know! :)

Have a great night!

Cara :)

Hi Rose,
I see probably the same four stations oasyou. I'm using a Mac,
interacting
with the grid, but all I see are four stations. Weird.

When you go into iTunes Radio you'll see the list of featured stations.
This is about 20 or so. If you click on the add new station button at
the bottom, you'll get a chance to search for a artist, song or genre
or choose from a list of genres. Once you find what you want you can
double tap on the create new station button and then it'll show up
beneath the featured stations in a section called My Stations.

music playing out of the same speakers as Jaws, too confusing.

I don't like much of what I heard on the phone, showing my age I
think, not into wrap or screaming or words I cannot understand.

Thanks for such a fun experience-letter. My own tastes must not cost
as much. I bought "A horse Named Bill," sung by the poet Carl
Sandburg. Fifty cents. I was tired of trying to find it, even though
I was fairly sure I had one somewhere. Then I looked at some violin
piece played by Rachel Barton Pine of Chicago. It was only 89 cents,
but I didn't buy it. I checbed yet another classical piece which was
99 cents. But yesterday I got a couple beautiful violin Cd's. One was
one cent and another 2 cents, but each had 4 dollars shipping.
Now I know why I could not get to iTunes radio. It is in the music
part, not in iTunes proper. Is that right? Because, for the last few
tries, I could not get to my opera channel. And I had had such fun
voting for what I liked and occasionally saying: Never play this
again.
Why, it is so very arbitry.
And so much fun. But when I went to iTunes, my genre stations were
not being found. So you've showed me where they are.
I'd better stop. More another time.

Hi All,

I finally got around to playing with iTunes radio which is in the
music folder of ios 7. With this cold holding on for over a week,
I've spent a lot of time laying around doing not much of anything so
I thought this would be a good time to give it a test drive.  I
should also say that I'm not much of a radio fan.  I don't like
other folks selecting what sort of music I listen to.  Apparently
with this app all you need to do is to enter into the text entry
field, the name of a song, an album, or an artist.  So, I typed
in "The
Eagles"
iTunes radio came back and offered me "Eagles Radio"  Wow! I thought
that meant that I would hear one Eagles tune after another but
instead, I get great songs that go together.  I suppose there are
other music apps and services out there but I see what their doing
here.  They played a song by The-Nitty-Gritty-Dirt-Band called An
American Dream which I hadn't heard in some time and I decided to
add it to my collection.  Wow again! a buck twenty
nine USAID.  You could go to the poor house buying songs 1 at a
time.  I wonder if there is anything like ten songs of your choosing
for an album price.  Sense I have no experience with these kinds of
deals, if anybody can give me any kind of a quick look over I'd
appreciate
it.
