Excited about Apple's Internet Radio service? - Black - 10-06-2012

I'll give it a whirl for sure but I can't say that I'm more than mildly curious.

Current status-- Sony playing hard to get:

Unless I'm completely failing to access the hamsters spinning in my head, this is the first I've heard about an Apple Internet Radio service.

Same here. It was rumored early Sept. and that rumor hurt Pandora's shares for a few days but I didn't know it transitioned over to Real Thing.

I read the link and the link's link. Fewer choices for consumers and legalized payola. For new music discovery I'd rather use a subscription-based service that retains some modicum of independence such as MOG/Spotify/Rdio, for as long as the labels permit them to exist.

me, too....but I don't want radio 24/7 on my computer. There are some things I have listened to on my HP Tablet but apple radio and TV I can do without. But news to me. I suppose it will be FM. Will go to the link and find out more about it.

And that's good, because I realized the story was a week old after I posted and figured it was guaranteed to have already been posted,,,

Maybe it's the Hostess Cupcake's I'm eating but I've been enjoying Apple's internet radio for years. Right there in iTunes.

Hmmmm... sounds intriuging. How does that work-- do they need to be re-baked after the 'secret ingredient' goes in?

The "goodness" is already baked in. Flavorless is deliciousness.

Didn't know anyone could get 'excited' about radio since around 1978
