[Electronics-talk] setting radios

[Ashley Bramlett]

Hello Jenny,
Can you explain what itunes radio is? How does that work and is this just 
internet stations, or does it mimic a real radio you'd hear on a stand alone 
machine?
Can you download it? Do you have to go into itunes to use it with a internet 
connection?

Itunes has really been a thorn to me. I tried using it with jaws and it 
doesn't work. The navigation seems almost impossible. I could navigate to my 
library of songs using the arrows. But when I reach the itunes store to 
attempt to buy
a song or album, no success. I could not find the albums I needed, or the 
sample music button or the buy button. I was so exasperated. I tabbed 
around. I used the arrows keys and other commands, and could not find what I 
needed. I used sighted help to create my itunes library.

So you're saying the itunes radio, whatever that is, is accessible. I wonder 
how.
Another thing, do you have to pay extra for this and if so, to what extent? 
a monthly plan?

Thanks.
Ashley

Hey Ashley,
Actually, the new iTunes radio is really accessible.
Also, I love iHeartRadio. It's very accessible.
Give it a shot, I think it's free but I'm not sure. It's been a while.
