[Electronics-talk] setting radios

Wed Nov 27 23:16:37 UTC 2013

Jenny,
Thanks. Can you pick different songs through itunes radio?
Also, is there a time limit on listening before they charge for it?

Christopher, glad you clarified that you can get it on a pc and mac.
How do you acces s it? Via itunes store? Would I need a separate account or 
do I simply use my itunes password?

I will  check out this option although, Ii' still like regular radios too as 
they're simpler and have funny djs.

Ashley

>From what I can tell. It's very similar to Pandora.
It has different stations, Jonrose, etc.
You can also say I don't want to hear this on again and it's accessible.
Well you can't say it but you can click it.
Yes it is accessible with the iPod touch as well.
