You can use iTunes to listen to streaming radio stations online. It's easier than you might think.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • iTunes
  • A DSL, cable, or other fast internet connection
  1. Step 1

    Open iTunes. On the upper left hand side of the iTunes browser, click on the Radio icon.

  2. Step 2

    When you click on the Radio icon, a list of genres of music appears in your iTunes browser.

  3. Step 3

    Double click on the genre you would like to hear.

  4. Step 4

    After a few seconds, iTunes will load a current list of streaming stations in that genre.

  5. Step 5

    Beside each station name is the Bitrate of the station. MP3 quality is around 128 kpbs (kilobytes per second). Any station below 56 kpbs is too low quality to listen to for enjoyment.

  6. Step 6

    Double click on the station you would like to hear.

  7. Step 7

    ITunes will connect with the station, and stream it over your computer speakers.

  8. Step 8

    If the station cuts out a lot, you may need to try a different station, or stream your desired station at a different time of day.
