Hi all!The lack of a contextual menu for radio streams is either a bug, or Apple didn't see the need, as one would, for example, not shuffle streams, as that's technically impossible, in a playlist. The only reason for putting multiple streams on a playlist, would be for convenience - this way, one doesn't have to select them, each and every time, one wants to listen to a particular stream.The only thing that argues, in favor of the lack of a menu being a bug, is that my sighted roommate can "click & drag" streams to the playlist of his choice.If it is a bug, perhaps it was introduced, in the process of making iTunes accessible for us.Regards, Ron On Apr 16, 2007, at 3:20 PM, Keith Reedy wrote:Begin forwarded message:From: Esther <moriond@xxxxxxx> Date: April 16, 2007 4:07:27 PM EDT To: Keith Reedy <keithreedy@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: "John W.

This was along the lines of Ron J.'s description, but gives additional details about adding to playlist. (Sorry, I thought the link would work by itself), Title of the thread was "Contextual Menus and iTunes" and post was on March 16, 2007 (should be enough to find/read the discussion at theMacvisionary discuss lists even if the links get munged)Hello! I personally believe that it is a bug that Radio Streams do not have contextual menus. Playlists can contain radio streams. But, how do you add them to a playlist? Here is my workaround. 1. Select the radio stream(s) that you want in a playlist. Selecting multiple items (by "disabling cursor tracking" with vo +shift+f3, then "shift-clicking" with vo+shift+space bar on each item you want in the playlist) will work the best, so select as many as you can. Don't forget to "enable cursor tracking" once you are done making your selections by pressing vo+shift+f3 again. 2. To create a playlist from the items selected, go to the File menu and select "New Playlist from Selection " or press command-shift-N. Type in the name you want to give theplaylist, (lets say "Favorite Radio Streams) and press the return key.Now you are done... Unless you want to add more radio streams to your "Favorite Radio Streams" playlist. This is the tricky part. 3. Select the radio stream(s) that you want to add to your "Favorite Radio Streams" playlist. As before, it will be better if you select as many as possible at once. 4. Since there is no contextual menu to add to an existing playlist, you will have to create a "dummy" playlist by going to the File menu and selecting "New Playlist from Selection" or pressing command-shift-N. Assign it a temporary name (like temp or 1 or something) and press Return. Now, you have to get the items from the "temp" playlist you just created into your "Favorite Radio Streams" playlist. Fortunately, you have contextual menus to help. 5. Select the temp playlist you just created in the "Source" panel. Go to the "Songs" panel and "Select All" with a Command-A. 6. Open the contextual menu with vo+shift+M, then select the"Favorite Radio Streams" playlist from the "Add to Playlist" submenu.Don't forget to go back to the "Sources" pane and delete the "temp" playlist.
