Q: Station from song/artist not working ?

In iTunes 12.2, I search for "little dragon" and select a song, click the [...], "new station from artist/song" - on the top of iTunes I briefly see "unknown title" and then nothing happens.

 

Same for any other artist I try this with.

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014), OS X Yosemite (10.10.4)

    This doesn't work....Music doesn't have any comparable algo to Spotify or Pandora for stations for Artist/Song unless they're very famous.

     

    It just doesn't work...same artist/song that goes on for days on Spotify it just doesn't start at all on Music or it goes only for few songs and then it stops because it ends up and doesn't know anymore what to play.

     

    Tried same artist/song on different devices...first time they play same songs, and they all stop after the same one, and they don't start anymore.

    Same thing here. Spotify : 1 / Apple Music : 0  . It’s unbelievable a feature like that (I’ve used it so many times it in Spotify) doesn’t work. Hope Apple will fix it very soon.

    I agree 100% at the moment Music is useless for me without artist/somg radio, on my Spotify same artist/somg radio goes for days...I have no idea how they could possibly release this service so bugged.

     

    spotify 1 / music 0 for me as well..if they don't fix radios and playlist and reliability of icloud music and itunes (basically everything apart the useless beat 1 radio) then we will all stay with Spotify I suppose, is just better in every aspect.

     

    Come on Apple you have in these forums all the feedback you need to fix things...admit it (without saying 'a few users experienced problems'), make public amend and deliver a working service, amd you'll get my £120 instead of Spotify...till then sorry I'll stay with the better service, that currently is not Apple Music at all.

    I'm experiencing the same issue with iTunes 12.2 on every track.  It happens on Yosemite both on my Macbook Pro and Mac Mini.  I can create stations without issue on my iPhone from the same account.

    Make sure you all report this to Apple.  They don't monitor these boards.  If enough people complain they'll fix it faster.

    The first days of Apple Music was working porperty, I have several "radios" from artist. But the last week was not working from OS X.

     

    But I create radios in iOS (iOS 9 - Public Beta) without problems, and later they are appear in OS X - iTunes

     

    p.d. I send a feedback to Apple with this iTunes bug.

    I just installed the iTunes update and I'm experiencing the same issue.  I can't create any radio stations.

     

    OS X Yosemite iTunes 12.2.2.25

     

    This feature works fine on my iPad.

    A few weeks ago updated the recently launched updates for iTunes and OSX and after that the issue continue, but for unknown reason now is working.

    Agree - while I have actually tried to create a station till today (to answer a problem in another thread) it certainly worked today on my iMac.

    What I do wish is you could make a station from multiple artists like you could with iTunes Radio. No option to edit your radio stations. Also they removed a lot of stations that I liked (the ones based upon decades and a lot of Blues stations).
