I created a station based on a song I like. After about a day's worth of listening to it, that song has never played. Additionally, there seem to be about a half dozen songs that play over and over again, sometimes even repeating a song. If I start listening to it right now, there's one song that is almost always within the first few songs played. I'm not impressed.
Got a tip for us?

In the meantime Canadian's can try slacker radio app.. Tried it a few weeks ago and I love it !!! It's free with also paid subscription !!
give it a try
give it a try
That's an oxymoron. No one likes that POPular 'trash' music. If no one liked it it wouldn't be popular...
Paid is not free.
Try the 8tracks app instead. Also works on desktop/browser, also free.

USAian... funny
We Canadians, and Mexicans, Guatemalans, Whateverans between the Pacific and the Atlantic are Americans too!
In all seriousness, I'm glad it is coming soon here.
But only in the US do they call themselves "Americans"

Where do you find these station slider settings?
Pros
1) Huge music collection
2) The free iTunes radio doesn't have nearly the amount of ads that the other free services have.
3) The paid iTunes radio (iTunes match) is considerably cheaper then all the other paid services.
Possible Cons
1) It's not a Spotify service where you pick your songs. For myself and many others, this is not a negative since we prefer a Pandora type service.
2) Some people are complaining about the choices iTunes radio plays after you make a station.

iTunes on your computer when you set up a station.
See how many people I just pissed off? Anyways, iTunes Radio does need some fixing and yes Pop music annoying.

Sorry did I just piss of a Justin Bieber or One Direction fan? LOL@ Hipster how the ****** hell did you come to that conclusion?
ROFL. too true.
it's kind of too bad the most egregious posts by the americans in this thread (especially the very first one) were removed by the mods. they were quite funny. Those folks remind me of the girl in this video.
I think Apple would need to negotiate with music labels separately in each country. That might take quite a while I'm afraid.

I'm not sure how my musical preferences are relevant to my critique of your character, but whatever floats your boat. I'm not a Bieber or One Direction fan (more of a Ben Folds/Pink Floyd/Counting Crows sort of fan), but I'm not the one mocking other people for their musical tastes; that would be you. That's how I came to the conclusion that you're a hipster.
You didn't exactly hide it or cloak it in subtlety.
You'll do better if you spend your time being your own person and enjoying things because you actually enjoy them, rather than defining yourself by how you think other people perceive you.
I do not understand what you are trying to say but if I remember correctly you called me a Hipster and I am wondering how you could come to such a retarded conclusion.

Same here!
And I got an american account for listening to iTunes radio. Its great! Just what I was hoping for - genius for streaming songs that I don't own.
It is constantly displaying error messages whenever an update shows up, which is basically every day with the amount of apps I have, saying the app can not be updated because of a wrong account. So I do have to switch almost every day.
I don't care for iTunes Radio. We'll I never liked the Pandora style anyway. Spotify is the best!

You made the assertion that "no one likes pop" and that pop music was "trash", then also claimed that Apple should not bother with rolling out the service to other countries and instead should focus on the US only because it's an American company.
Like I said, it's not a difficult leap to make.
+1!
I've been using Slacker for probably close to a year now. Everyone only talks about Pandora, Spotify, Rdio, etc, but you hardly ever hear anyone talk about Slacker. It's love for Canada and price has me hooked!
For which you need a US debit card right? Or is there a way I can set a US account up here in the UK?
