Rename iTunes Radio stations and find missing podcasts
With a new iOS version and new iPhone hardware comes an updated version of iTunes. This week’s column covers a problem with missing podcasts in iTunes 11.1 and explains how to change the names of iTunes Radio stations. And because the best way to keep your iTunes library organized is to make sure your tags are correct—if they’re not consistent, you’ll have trouble finding music and other content when you want to play something—I also address a number of questions about tags.
Q: I like iTunes Radio, but I was wondering if it’s possible to change the names of any of the iTunes Radio stations?
You can’t change the names of the Featured Stations; these are the ones at the top of the iTunes Radio window that are programmed by Apple. But you can change the names of any stations that you created. If you create a station from a song with a long name, such as “Half-Step Mississippi Uptown Toodeloo,” you might want to shorten that name. To do this, click the radio station’s icon in the iTunes window to expand the view. Click the name, and you’ll see that it becomes highlighted. Type the name you want, and press Return. The new name will propagate to all your devices that are linked to your iTunes Store account.
You can change the name of any iTunes Radio station just by clicking the name and entering a new one.
Q: I have a large library of podcasts that I save to listen to again, but after I updated to iTunes 11.1, a lot of them were missing. Is there any way I can get them back?
