Change iTunes handling of external radio stations
Authored by: Arakageeta on Apr 09, '03 02:06:23PM

You know, I never saw the "open stream" menu item. I came up with this hint because whenever I click on a web site's "Listen to our mp3 stream" link, a .pls file is always downloaded to the desktop and added to the iTunes library when it is played.

Can you add a radio station to a playlist using the "open stream" ? Is anything added to the library?

You can delete the .pls file and the stream will stay in iTunes. You can put it to a playlist or where ever. Once the stream is opened the .pls file is unnessary.

I don't find that to be the case...

...the only way I could add streams and have them work once the .pls file is deleted from my Library is to use this hint's technique.

FWIW, I'm using iTunes 4.6 under 10.3.4
