iTunes 12 list of internet radio streams gone?

Well Apple certainly knows how to obscure a feature when they want to, I'll give them that. After installing High Sierra and iTunes 12.7.2, I was convinced Apple had finally deleted 'Internet Radio'. Even after reading this thread it still wasn't obvious. To clarify, these are the required steps:

1. Choose 'Music' from the drop-down menu at the top left of the iTunes window.
2. Click 'Library' (to the right of the drop-down).
3. In the sidebar, hover the cursor over the 'Library' heading, revealing the secret 'Edit' button.
4. Click 'Edit'.
5. Tick 'Internet Radio', and press 'Done.
6. Enjoy free Internet Radio until Apple hides the feature somewhere else (or, heaven forbid, removes it completely).

Yes, if it is hidden it can be unhidden using the edit button in the media selection control.

Jason, to keep your favorite streams safe before updating Itunes again:

I'd recommend creating a new playlist (ex: "Internet Radio Favorites") adding your favorite Internet radio streams by either: 1. Clicking and dragging the station name from the streams list into your new playlist or 2. While streaming, right click the gray space beside the station name in the live display up top > choose "Add to playlist" > select your playlist. The playlist will remain intact in the next update! Happy Days.

I'm trying to follow your instructions and I can't figure out how to edit the button. I have version 12.6 windows 10 and I'm about to slam the laptop on the wall. Easy isn't supposed to cause headaches.

Could you be more details, for my slow brain. All I want is music since I cant sync my iphone

Click the 3 dots in the tool bar, then enable Internet Radio from the list. Now click the icon of the radio mast. This is Internet Radio, as opposed to iTunes Radio, and should be the familiar feature that you're looking for.

Yes, but why is it not listed on the top as always...for that matter, what about the sidebar?

Now, it takes multiple clicks to activate the radio, disappears when I go to another view . . . NOT efficient. Again, the growth of STYLE of SUBSTANCE and PERFORMANCE.

There is no set of 3 dots in the toolbar for my iTunes 12.6. One more argument in favor of Apple paying attention to Playfoot's complaint.

It changed again. Click the media source selection control that has Music, Movies, TV Shows etc. If you don't have an entry for Internet Radio click Edit Menu... and enable Internet Radio.

tt2 is correct of course about the current version. Will Apple try next time to change it again and make it still more obscure?

Thanks tt2 for the prompt reply.

You're welcome. 🙂

I just don't want to lose any stations!

I found it... Edit on the area shown as "library".

Thank you

You're welcome. 🙂
