I'm sure most of us would be aware of the development that iTunes Radio doesn't come FREE of cost anymore. I do understand that making music isn't cheap, but I'm not going to listen to a radio station that chooses what songs I can listen to. What is your honest opinion? Is it actually worth it?

Welcome to the forums
I don't use iTunes. But there are other service providers that give you a huge variety of streaming content, and let you select what you want to listen to for a very reasonable investment. Google play is one of them, but there are many more. (Maybe Google Play is an Android only thing?)

I would pay $19.99 a month for it. You have access to the entire iTunes downloadable catalog of 35,000,000 songs to play on demand. You have the radio channels and the opportunity to create your own stations and fine tune them. Everyday you have access to For You playlists curated by humans and they are great. We stream it at home and in both vehicles -- all the time.
30 cents a day.

Bud That's true. But I really doubt whether it's actually $19.99? My problem is not about the money, but the fact that I would not have the freedom to choose what I can listen to. Don't you agree?

Obviously you want to listen to something far more esoteric. My advice, forget iTunes, just go and buy the LP. Case closed.

For a time I was using Pandora. You can set up "radio stations" based on a given artist or a song. The rotation of songs would favor that artist or that song style. It wasn't all that bad and I got to hear lots of songs that I hadn't heard in years.
At some point, they stopped using the video advertisements and started using audio adverts just like a terrestrial radio station... you could buy the plan and the commercials would go away.
Between the data it used and my daughter burning through the shared data..... we were running low on data with several days still remaining in that billing cycle. I eventually stopped listening
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

First as mentioned your choice is not just iTunes radio. There are now several streaming content providers and they provide more than just a pre-programmed radio station. My provider allows me to download in a compressed format to my phone any song in their library. That means no data streaming when traveling which for me is a great benefit and it still sounds great.
The question of is it worth it is easy to answer. If I had to pay for every album or single I currently have access too in my library it would cost me a ridiculous amount of money not to mention I would have to rip, compress and file all that music. That alone is worth it.
However there is another reason and perhaps the most important. Copy right protection for the artist. By paying a monthly fee to a streaming content provider you are allowing them to pay royalties to the artist or whoever owns the rights to the music. The royalties received by the artist are negotiated between the artists and provider and can range from royalty for each time the song is played to just a flat one time royalty. The bottom line is that it is good for the artist.
This is the new model the music industry is adopting and it makes sense. It's reasonably valued maybe even undervalued depending on ones consumption and it's fair. I love my service and what it provides. I have a library of music that I could never dream of having growing up.

...That's true. But I really doubt whether it's actually $19.99? My problem is not about the money, but the fact that I would not have the freedom to choose what I can listen to. Don't you agree? Uhhh no. Clarifications: - when I said Apple Music was worth $19.99 a month my point was that I would pay ten bucks a month MORE than the asking price and still be satisfied. - some folks don't seem to realize that you can permanently download any iTunes album or single to your mobile device or computer and play them from it if you choose not to stream. The only caveat is that you cannot burn them to CD. - we have no data issues with streaming audio. We stream daily and it hardly makes a dent in our AT&T small shared 5meg monthly plan. Video eats up the data not audio. We love streaming. If we are listening to an album or playlist on our living room audio system streaming from my iPhone and then leave...the music picks up in the vehicle right where where we left it. Same thing when we are mountain biking. - the curated playlists and stations on iTunes are IMO far superior to pandora. And if like us you have a large iTunes library (we have 9K+ songs) then the stations and playlists are able to base their songs on the usual variables plus what you have listened to and purchased over the years. Their ability to find an artist whom you are not familiar with but will like is uncanny. All of those features including owning every freakin' thing in the iTunes audio store is $9.99 a month. And yes they pay the artists more than the other streaming entities. Again 30 cents a day for folks like us who love and listen to music all the time it's a heckuva deal. Reckon I'm just a 70 year ole phart trying to live out on the digital cusp  Bud

I have an old version of ITunes on my computer 10.6.3 and radio seems to play ok without asking for any subscription, though does ask me to upgrade which I declined.
Maybe its a location thing and hasn't reached here yet.

Musiclover Although the original poster said iTunes radio I assumed he was talking about the radio section of Apple Music that was released last fall...but I could be wrong. Apple Music gives you radio stations, for you lists and the ability to play music from your personal iTunes collection or from anything in the iTunes store. It is built into the IOS release for mobile devices since last fall and runs under iTunes 12.2.3 on my Mac so it would appear that you would have to update in order to access it. Bud

The only caveat is that you cannot burn them to CD. Hey Bud, I burn all my iTunes downloads to CD to archive them. Just create a playlist folder, put your songs in, and right-click to choose, "Burn to CD".

Just create a playlist folder, put your songs in, and right-click to choose, "Burn to CD". Yes, you can burn iTune purchases to CDs but not downloads obtained via the Apple Music monthly subscription. You can physically download them to any one of your devices. They'd never make a dime if you could give away anything in the store for a few bucks a month. It's two confusing and different paradigms. Bud

I use a Mac and hence iTunes is definitely my best option. I was just looking for cheaper options, if any. Peace out.

It's just that I was disappointed with the fact that I would have to pay for something I've been using for FREE.

Ditto, I use iHeart Radio a lot on walks, in car, at home - plus I can get political talk I prefer as WELL as music, and now with Amazon Prime I get a lot of "free" music.
Besides, I wouldn't, and HAVE NOT, given Apple "Co" a penny, knowingly at least, since the first and last Apple product (the Apple II) I bought in the mid-late 70's (~77 or 78).

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.
