..jeffone8..

Use some older 'obsoleted' PPC/Intel Macs & OS X

can run an antique iTunes Radio, to play 1,000's of

free stations; my old G4 Mac mini 1.5GHz uses it.


..Mine works. Also does image editing, for older

early digital. Nikon DSLR and Panasonic Lumix,

images; per 'ToyViewer' free app. Still available..


Later 'pre-Catalina' macOS 10.15, has limited iTunes

app, on a more limited scene; not as cool nor as free.


A few stations can be heard, without subscription.

My older MacBook Pro 13-inch (mid 2012) model

runs Mojave 10.14.6 adequately, plays iTunes music.


Even an older iPad Mini (WiFi-only) runs iOS 9.3.5

w/ basic music channels. Old browsers are sketchy.


Since many newer computers can't revert, and some

won't run old systems in Virtual machines; better keep

those that can, around for entertainment purposes.


Gave away my iBook G4 last version, Apple refurbished;

a like-new kit, to good friend's son. Later, I included a

first-edition MacBook 2006 13-inch, with Leopard 10.5.

Still has iTunes music player, w/ online Radio Stations.


There may be some options for newer Macs, site based

music sharing; or other players for mixed use, not Apple.

And those 'book player' software apps, exist still.


iTunes for Tiger 10.4.11 & Leopard 10.5.8 - Apple Community

//discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-13011 (user tip)


Original iTunes player w/ Radio Stations for OS X 10.4.11 &

10.5.8, can be downloaded; runs free. Last one could work

"iTunes 10.6.3 for Leopard" runs in Snow Leopard +, too.


Made for last 'PPC G3/G4/G5 series' & early Intel-Mac.

Not beyond Intel-Mac; yet, virtual machine? unknown.

..Other ideas might have evolved too; haven't looked..
