Launch iTunes > Automatically Play a Radio Station?

[clayj]

Hey all,

OK, I've looked, and looked, and looked, but cannot find a way to do this... can you launch iTunes and have it automatically begin playing a particular radio station? I don't use it to play my WMAs (I use Windows Media Player on my PC for that), but I do use it for the radio... it would be nice to just be able to launch the program and have it start playing right away.

Thanks for any assistance!

I doubt it, But with Tiger, Automator should take care of that for you! 😀

If you're on a mac...

If you're using iTunes on a Mac, a little Applescript should do the trick. In iTunes, make a playlist called "Radio" and drag your favorite radio station into it. Using Script Editor, make a script using the following code:

tell application "iTunes"
	play playlist "Radio"
end tell

Maybe somebody else will find this useful. 😛
