Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Internet Radio on Apple TV...

...there is one feature I still miss on atv with the new software update to come which are the internet radio stations you can listen to on iTunes.

It would be great if they also made this available dircetly on the atv, which is connected to my home audio system, so I can listen to internet radio without turning on my computer.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

Agreed, but what I'd like to see is the capability to access Internet Radio as a standalone unit... without a power-hogging PC sitting on the other end of the link, and - from a couch potato user experience standpoint - without the need to fuss with iTunes on the PC 🙂

George - Absolutely. The Polk I-Sonic 2 was developed with the "Tagging" option as a high priority. This was really important to the overall design and subsequent launch as we wanted to stand out amongst the plethora of iPod goodies that are available. Will that change? Of course, as it's a feature that should be on everything that is iPod compatible.

My wife is the iPodian and I'm just a newbie when it comes to al that stuff. She's been able to test all kinds of goodies and it's been a fun ride. You can't get better feedback than that of the one who offers it anyways : - )

Thanks for mentioning the product and if anyone has a question about it, I'm floating around, getting my learn on.

Regards,

I've tried everything, but still if you synch a playlist with stations all works OK for awhile, but eventually songs (stations) disappear from the playlist on your ATV. The only thing reliable seems to be airstreaming from your pc/mac. I wish they would fix this so you can use the playlist stations reliably.

In the end, it would mean more revenue for Apple via iTunes.....I discover lots of new tunes/artists listening to internet radio, then end up buying the music on iTunes.
