College radio stations in iTunes
How I miss the days of Ramen noodles, sleepless nights and self-indulgent college rock. If you're like me, check out the updated "College Radio" section of iTunes. Just click the radio icon in the sidebar (not the iTunes Store) to reveal the College Radio section (it bore a beta tag until I checked again this morning). Just a dozen stations are represented, including WLMU at Le Moyne College and WMHB from Colby College in Waterville, Maine.
Unfortunately for me, my own alma mater's fantastic station is not in the list. That's too bad, as I like a side order of nostalgia with my morning coffee.
Thanks, Perceval!

It didn't show on mine but I expanded one of the selections and closed it and then college radio popped up. Just needed to refresh the list I guess...

How do we add our college's radio station to the list?

More importantly, when are they going to actually let you organize and choose stations?

Just expand any other stream of radios, and the College Radio stream will appear. It refreshes the list once you load one of the streams.

Marywood's station always rocks. I was a student and worked at the nearyby U of Scranton's radio station in early 90's and every week the I heard "we just want to have a station like Marywoods" I remember my freshman roommate making a mixtape for his girlfriend and getting the station to dedicate a song to her which he taped and used as his grand finale.
Man, that was a smooth move
Now, the women of Marywood? "Mary would if Mary could but Mary goes to Marywood"

Cool! I graduated in '94. And yes, I remember the sayings.
"Madonna Hall -- the impenetrable fortress!"

Provided that your college station is broadcasting on the web, it's pretty easy to add them to iTunes. I've had Streaming Stations folder for years. Go to Advanced>Open Stream and enter the url of the broadcast. If you're tricky you can even get Media Player urls in there. You can also create a smart folder to automatically populate any new streams you add.

Since when is "ramen" spelled with a capital "R"?

I too am a student at Marywood and I have been bitching at them to get VMFM on the internet. If they would be able to get onto iTunes this would be a total double win for me... hopefully they wise up!

Performance royalty rates for online radio has not been settled yet, so that could be why some college stations don't have a web presence. The rates are very high for some classes of webcasters. See http://www.savenetradio.org for some details.
