What's new

What music are you listening to right now!?!?

Amazing the sound talented hands can craft from wood and steel.

Thx for this TP.

You're welcome. I think it's pretty amazing. I can't remember if you are currently in reception range of iTunes Radio, but if you are you may like this station. Ive been tuning it for a couple weeks. Lots of great guitar masters in it. Half of them (including Don Ross and Andy McKee) I discovered in the process of creating the station. And I added Doyle Dykes today, another wonderful musician.

I've also excluded over 15 other musicians that have little or nothing in common with the included artists, and still get the occasional surprise track. The smart part of iTunes Radio isn't all that smart.
 
Here is what the station looked like this morning, before I added Don Ross and Doyle Dykes; and blocked a couple more artists.

ITunes radio may come to Canada in 2014.
We've been unlucky in the streaming music universe. No Pandora, Spotify, Google Play Music All Access, or Rhapsody. They're all geo-locked. Only Rdio and Songza are available here.

Guess E. Cue is like the rest of them; believing only beaver, moose and grizzlies inhabit regions north of the frontier. Wonder if iTunes radio is in Alaska?

It's probably licensing issues. Isn't it always? Or perhaps Apple so loves our Canadian neighbors that they refuse to use you as beta testers, because I can assure you at times it reminds you that it's not perfect. :)

Right it's been stalling every other song, but that could be my networks fault.


Currently listening to "Give Me Cornbread When I'm Hungry" by John Fahey. I've always liked bluesgrass.

Licensing for sure. Same reason we get only a fraction of what's available to U.S., customers (TV) especially, via iTunes. Same with Netflix.

I have a SiriusXM subscription but I find the music channels have a lot of crossover.
The only reason I keep it is for long road trips and the business radio feeds; CNBC, Bloomberg etc.
I listen to them en route to work in the AM to help me with show prep.

Sure would be nice if the media companies got their act together on the subject of international licensing. Then again, it's not all their fault either. The many colored (mostly red) regulations in each country make things rather complicated, and slow.
 
Now I am listening to "ANGEL" by Exo K. Favorite song, second favorite band. I think Exo M sings it better (for any confused people: Exo M is the Mandarin version of Exo K. Exo K came first). Right now, I think I'm stinking up the whole thread with Exo. Please let me know.
