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?
iTunes on your computer when you set up a station.
Why doesn't iTunes Radio has an AirPlay icon?
What does iTunes radio offer what Pandora, Spotify, Google play music, Deezer, Rdio (and a lot more) can't offer?
As a Spotify user I think iTunes Radio is very crippled and has nothing extra to offer. You can't even make your own playlist or choose your own songs, or am i missing something? I don't get the excitement for a product that is already available.
The only "plus" is the huge music collection of iTunes.
As usual your dumb pissy comments just don't seem to work out.

I have to say, being a internet radio broadcaster, and having paid professional music services, I am excited to see iTunes Radio here in Canada.
I hope that the CRTC does not intervene in the rollout of this service. They have to realize that consumers have other options, and they have to realize that in this modern-day world you cannot push Canadian content that is somewhat mediocre to have repetitive airplay.
You can do it on the iOS device as well. If you press the i icon at the top of the Now Playing screen, it has the slider for preferences.
well, CRTC stayed out of messing with Netflix so far despite pressure from the cable companies. so I sure hope they don't start twitching now because of itunes radio. but even if they do impose some Canadian content requirements I don't think it will matter very much with a highly customizable service like itunes radio.
You also can purchase the music you really like by single click.
All of them combined = machine gun slaughtering for the competition.
I feel like Apple is really behind the curve here. Don't get me wrong. I love Apple and their products, and with their customizable stations I'll bet they give Pandora a run for their money. But just to match today's curve, they'd need to come out with something like Spotify.
You know, when I listen to Spotify's radio service, I barely listen to it for more than 15 or 20 minutes at a time.
But not because it's a bad service.
But because it's an expansive, almost revolutionary service.
You see, within 15 or 20 minutes I usually stumble across a song from an artist that I simply want to hear more of RIGHT NOW.
I can't listen to more of that music RIGHT NOW on iRadio or Pandora. I'd have to go buy it on iTunes or Amazon or wherever.
But with Spotify, I don't have to buy anything and with a couple taps I'm listening to the entire album, almost immediately and I don't have to pay extra to do it.
It's free.
And then I make a playlist of their album, and it's right there. My list of playlists is HUGE. I've mirrored almost all of my iTunes favorites into Spotify as Spotify playlists. I've almost doubled that with all the new music I've discovered on Spotify, using Spotify Radio and whatever discoveries I make.
I say all this not to denigrate those who love and prefer services like iRadio and Pandora. Good on you. I say this because sometimes I don't think everyone realizes yet the sheer discovery power of Spotify's service.
Its free plan is, well, free. Its most expensive plan is less than the cost of one CD on iTunes or Amazon.
It does. It's in the Control Center.
So are entitled Canadians.
lmao apple please no one likes that dubstep trash music.
What about the rest of the world? Im sure us aussies would like this feature.
