iTunes Radio stops after one song

Just downloaded 11.1 and started a new radio station. I continued adding bands while Radio played two songs from the original band. The third song played from a different band and when it was done, so was iTunes. The station just stopped with the Play control available. I clicked it and got a Nissan commercial followed by the third song (that just played). I hit skip. iTunes stopped again. I quit iTunes and relaunched. Went back to the station, hit play and got that same third song. I let it play out and it stopped again. Can't seem to do anything else.

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2009), Mac OS X (10.7.5)

It's not the perfect workaround because It only worked sporadically for me today. There's still something wrong - I wish Apple would help us out instead of watching us do the troubleshooting for them.

It it stops, skipping a song sometimes gets it going again.

Not sure this will work for everyone, but I just succeeded in creating two stations that work OK. Just go to "Store" and choose "Update iTunes Match". 😎

No problem with stations keyed to a single artist.

I created a list of personal favoriites with multiple artists. At first, it ran great. Then, it seemed I added one performer too many, then it just wouldn't play. (I'd have a list of 200 or more artists if it was up to me.)

Had to delete several artists to get it working again. Everything seems so smooth on using iTunes on my Mac. Maybe there's a server-side bug which is creating thiis limitation.

Anyone having issues with the "now playing" button on the top left? Just got my iPhone 5s and the button is not responding. Tested on my iphone 5 too and same problem. Ipad and MacBook works fine though.

Recent versions of iTunes for Mac have not had this problem.

Is it possible to close a discussion?

Well, it is still an issue. Experiencing it right now.

iTunes 12.1.0.50; MacOS 10.10.2

still happening with latest version of iTunes. I also have the Radio service and the Match service yet still happens. Annoying.

It keeps happening here, too. Maybe it's a failure of the little known idle timeout feature of the player? I get the feeling they don't want people to use iTunes Radio to drive a headless media computer playing music over a public address system in a store or restaurant somewhere.

That doesn't stop some people from putting iPods on downloaded music shuffle, like what I recall the manager of my local Denny's restaurant does.

iTunes Radio has been phased out. This thread should be closed.

Incorrect. It is still possible to start streaming stations based on a given artist or song, but only if you're paying for Apple Music.
