MACOS CATALINA: HOW TO
KEEP YOUR INTERNET RADIO
FAVORITES PLAYING IN THE
MUSIC APP
Internet radio was a wonderful idea
decades ago when radio stations first
tentatively entered the online world and
offered often quite low-bandwidth
streaming versions of their broadcasts. It
also provided a way for those without a
radio transmitter to set up an online station
with which they could reach people with
words, original music, and recorded songs.
Apple included an Internet Radio
option in iTunes for nearly two decades. A
directory of streaming options, broadcast
and otherwise, it persisted until macOS
10.15 Catalina. The new Music app omits
the Internet Radio directory, although it can
still play online streams—and import
playlists that contain streaming URLs from
previous versions of iTunes.
(If you don’t see Internet Radio as an
option in iTunes, select Music from the
pop-up menu, click the Library button, and
then hover over the label that reads
Library at the top of the sidebar. An Edit
button appear. Click it and then check the
box next to Internet Radio and click Done.)
If you’re an internet radio aficionado,
make sure you preserve your choices in
Mojave (or an earlier macOS release)
