Work around for radio tuner service not working

A work around for the lack of radio tuner service that has appearently hit Itunes versions lower than 11.

We all hope that Apple will restore Radio Tuner Service for us legacy products users soon, but I've been thrown under the bus more than once by Apple in the last 25 yrs to put much hope in that 😟 (I started with an Apple III w/a Z80 card running C/PM, yeah I'm that old)


Have your iTunes and your favorite browser open.

In your browser go to http://vtuner.com/setupapp/guide/asp/BrowseStations/startpage.asp

This will give you a list of Genre's, etc of streaming internet stations.

When you select a genre you'll get a list of stations that shows station ID, what type of feed codec and data rate.

Select any of the AAC or MP3 feeds.

Select play.

This will send a small download file to your computer containing the selected feeds URL.

Your computer will ask what app to use to open the file, select iTunes.

This will automatically open a file called Internet Songs at the end of Playlists in iTunes (if you don't already have one), and will install the URL there.

All the stations you selected will now be permanently stored in Internet Songs.

Viola, your very own custom personal internet radio playlist!
