Where did Folk go on Radio?

I just switched to a new iMac with all new software and when I went to the iTunes Radio to play some folk music I couldn't find the catergory "Folk". Anyone know what heading the radio stations like FolkAlley, GrassyHIll, playing folk music are located now?

Thanks,

Hmmm... there's been a spate of protests about this in the past few months. I don't have a new version of iTunes so I can't look but it went to Miscellaneous or Eclectic or World or something like that.

If you remember the station you liked you can navigate to it using your browser and add it to iTunes.

This doesn't answer your question, but I'm assuming it might help.

They're both in "Eclectic" now.

Thanks, Dave -- your response short-circuited my mounting frustration! Am happily playing Grassy Hill Radio even as i type --

*Message to Apple-itunes "Powers That Be"*: -- PLEASE bring back FOLK folder in next version of iTunes -- why did you bury it in Eclectic anyway?

Sheesh! "Change" doesn't always mean "progress"...
