Hi,

All of a sudden, when I try and listen to any station on AOL Radio, it shows "connect" and then "forbidden" Anyone else seeing this?

I'm having the same problem. I'm in Canada. I wonder if they're starting to filter IP addresses like Pandora is doing?

I really hope not - this is our favourite radio app by a long way! 😟

I'm sorry to confirm they are filtering IP addresses..

If you open an AOL station in iTunes you'll hear that "soon" AOL radio stations won't be broadcast outside the bounds of the US, then it goes on to say "Who's to blame?" and something about lawyers.

There goes my favorite music app...

AOL is recommending we switch to Last.fm, I've tried and hate Last.fm... I guess I'm screwed...

Thanks for the info, yes, that *****. Here in Germany there is nothing to compare with the AOL Radio for sure - shoutcast, lastFM, you have to delve through so many "radio" stations, but nothing is as good as the AOL version.
Anyone out there run into an equivalent without the restrictions?
