[Electronics-talk] setting radios

Thu Nov 28 16:09:02 UTC 2013

Hi again,

ITunes radio is much like IHeart Radio without radio station streams.  Select what they call a radio station and you may hear what you like to hear.  If you stay with free version, you will hear occasional ads.  Be sure to get IPod fifth generation or IPod 5.  The tiny fourth generation Ipod doesn't have ITunes radio or Siri or the latest IOS 7.0.4 operating  system.

>> 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.

>> 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.

>>> Hi all,
>>> Setting up the radio station you want is with buttons on most radios; in the past, you had a tuner knob to set stations and no digital way to program in stations.
>>> 
>>> Its important to see the station to know where you are.
>>> Are there talking radios? I know the ipods read you the station frequency you’re at, but other than that, I can’t think of anything accessible.
>>> 
>>> How do you find the stations you want? Just listen? Ocasionally with good light, I can see the number. Otherwise, I have to listen and guess what station I’m at based on the music played and number of times I’ve pressed a button. For instance if I’m at 99.5 and wish to go to 98.7, I know I don’t have to press the buttons much to get there, but if I wanted to tune to 88.5, I have a long way to go.
>>> 
>>> For music, I love cds! I find them most accessible as you simply put in your cd and press buttons to go to the track you desire or play it on the pc with something like windows media player, and still select your track or listen straight through.
>>> Old fashioned, but I find its most accessible except for the ipod route. Most music services such as rhapsody are not very accessible. Oh, nor is the hd radio real accessible either. So cds, IMO, are one of the best options.
