iTunes Radio: Poor reception

With the approach of iTunes Radio’s six-month anniversary, now seems as good a time as any to take a second look at the service. When it first launched I was quite enthusiastic about it (http://www.macworld.com/article/2048977/get-to-know-ios-7-music-and-itunes-radio.html) for a variety of reasons. To begin with, Apple has a solid relationship with countless record labels and has taken pains to place purchase buttons on Now Playing screens, thus driving more sales to those labels. These two factors should encourage labels to open up their catalogs to a greater extent than they might with a service such as Pandora and provide listeners with a greater variety of music to listen to. And it supports both generated and curated content into iTunes Radio. Plus, it’s available not only within iTunes but also to iOS devices, Apple TV, and in-car iOS scheme, CarPlay.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2103600/itunes-radio-poor-reception.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
