Righto, I must admit I only took a cursory glance, I don't actually use the iTunes radio much at al. > Folk, as has been mentioned, is scattered around several groups, but > the word "folk" is usually mentioned in the comments field so that's > very much a case in point.

I'm sure last time I looked at it (maybe a couple of years ago) there were only a few dozen stations, and no good ones. There's now blimmin' loads, although a lot of them are way too low quality to listen to (32kbit/s for classical??) - and there's no way to limit by that either. >> Folk, as has been mentioned, is scattered around several groups, but >> the word "folk" is usually mentioned in the comments field so that's >> very much a case in point. > >The folk I was mentioning is in the iTunes store, not the radio. Oh! Sorry, my misread. But it's still a good example. Cheers - Jaimie -- "A debugged program is one for which you have not yet found the conditions that make it fail." - Jerry Ogdin
