Apple Music Radio not working. Get the error message: 'Unable to start station. There was a problem starting the station. Try again later'. Is it only for the US?

//edit:

Nevermind. Thought you were talking about iTunes.

Btw, working fine in Portugal with Portuguese Apple Account

So annoyed with Apple.

I'm from the UK, and I purposefully kept my iTunes Match subscription going for the last 3-4 years, waiting for iTunes Radio to be released to the UK. I was expecting to get the same features that the guys in the US did .... no-ads on iTunes Radio for Match subscribers.

So after all this time, I find that I only get access to the crappy Beats Radio. Great if you like all that (C)rap music & pop - but not so good for ageing rockers like myself.

I was adamant that I would not move to Spotify, but looks like Apple have forced my hand 😟

Apple Music is so buggy, can't play Radio properly, Default radio stations from Pandora / Sportify are muuuuuuuucccchhh muuuuuuuuch better

Hello. I am subscribed to the service and cannot get the pre-set stations to play. No clue what's going on. Does the same thing on both my iPhone as well as iTunes.

I'm in Canada.

I signed up for the Apple Music trial subscription.

Yesterday, radio gave me "unable to start station."

This morning, it worked beautifully! Really enjoying "Mixtape" station.

However, this evening, "unable to start station" again.

Beats 1 works.

Get an internet radio app, like TuneIn -- the radio stations, with or without ads, aren't all that great...

All we have to do is point our Apple IDs to the US AppStore or create a new one for the US AppStore.

Inconvinient but pretty simple.

I hope I could help.

Regards from Brazil.

Availability of Apple Music, Apple Music Radio, and iTunes Match - Apple Support

Look for your country, if you have a little "1" next to Apple Music Radio, that means that you need a subscription to Apple Music.

my acc is made in Hungary , I am at Germany atm. I subscribed for Apple Music 2 days ago, chose individual. Everything is fine except hip hop station, i got the same error message 😟 :S

I am getting the same issue in Canada, though I have subscribed and I'm getting this error on all radio stations, including Beats 1. I could play Beats 1 on my computer, though before it played I received a similar error and then it just started playing which was odd, but I can't get any radio station working on my phone. I subscribed on Monday to Apple Music (family plan) and still today, nothing. Kind of annoying as I'm sure some of the early days of Beats 1 radio will be their best.

Stations are working again this morning.

Could be server load?

well, Apple wants people to move to Android as it looks like... They have stolen us using iBook store by increasing the cost and after that did not work with them... They have come with idea Of radio subscription... Why would I need to pay to listen to a radio statio???!!!!

Hey guys - I think I figured it out (at least for myself). If you are (1) logged into APPLE MUSIC, (2) signed up for their trial, and are (3) experiencing this issue, just log out and log back into Apple Music. To sign out, click the top left icon (see image below) and click "Sign out" > Sign back in and you should be good.

I did oddly have to select my plan again, where it then said you are already a member but then all now works great. I get all stations with no issues.

Thanks. I used to use Tune-In, until it completely changed about a year or two back. Its all weird now lol

Not really... once you realize that what used to be 'Favorites' is now 'Profile', it's more or less the same 😮
