You can add any station to a playlist by dragging it to the left edge of the iTunes window (or onto the Playlists header in newer iTunes versions) when you do this, the iTunes sidebar will slide out, and you can drop the station on an existing playlist, or into a clear area to create a new playlist. To make it simpler to access Internet Radio, select Edit from the three dots' pop-up menu, and then check Internet Radio:įrom now on, Internet Radio will appear in the iTunes icon bar, alongside Music and Movies, etc. To view the station list, you'll probably have to click the three dots in the iTunes icon bar and choose Internet Radio from the pop-up menu. Make sure there's a checkmark next to Internet Radio (there won't be by default): This will reveal an Edit button click that, and you'll see a list of customizable entries for the Library section.
