The list of songs on the internet is endless and you can choose to enjoy new songs every day or stick with your music library which is quite limited. iTunes 11 can connect you to web radio where you get to listen to music endlessly from several stations; you can even create a playlist of your favorite radio stations.

This the tutorial will guide you on how to set up a playlist that you can add your favorite radio stations to so you don't have to waste time searching through thousands of stations for the kind of music you enjoy.

Requirements:

o   Apple iTunes Software 7 - 11
o   Internet connection

How To Create A Playlist for Your Radio Stations

In order to create a list of your favorite radio stations, you first need to create a blank playlist in iTunes. To do this, follow these steps:
o   Click File > New Playlist and type in a name for it and hit Enter. To do this via the keyboard shortcut, hold down the CTRL key (Command for Mac) and press N.
o   Once you have created your playlist you'll see it in the left window pane (in the Playlists section).
Keep in mind that instead of adding music tracks to the new playlist, we will be adding radio station links which of course cannot be synced to your iOS device.

Adding Radio Stations

To start adding radio stations to your blank playlist:
1. Click on the Radio menu item in the left pane (underneath Library).
2. A list of categories will be displayed with a triangle next to each one; clicking on one will display the contents of that category.
3. Click on a triangle next to a genre of your choice to see what radio stations are available.
4. Double-click a radio station to begin listening to it.
5. If you like a radio station and want to bookmark it, simply drag and drop it to your playlist.
Repeat step 5 to add as many stations as you want to your radio playlist.

Checking and Using Your Radio Station Playlist

After updating your playlist with your favorite stations, you need to verify that your playlist is working and has all the radio stations you need.
o   Click on your newly created playlist in the left pane of your screen (underneath Playlists).
o   You should now see a list of all the Internet radio stations you dragged and dropped into it.
o   To start using your custom playlist, click on the play button at the top of the screen. This should start the first radio station in the list streaming music.
Now that you've got an Internet radio playlist in iTunes you'll be able to have an almost infinite supply of free music.
