Can any fellow Mac user advice me how (or if?) these channels can be listened to via iTunes, please?
Just because you can, doesn't mean you should!

Hello Peter, At the moment we are working with an agent who is going to promote our music and therefore we had to rearrange and update our SoundCloud Channel. So the old links we sent you before aren't working anymore, Here is the link to our 'refreshed' SoundCloud Channel: https://soundcloud.com/r-am-musicSorry for the inconvenience. Kind regards, Rob and Anne-Marie

If I'm writing Celtic instrumental songs, under which genre would they be categorized ? Country?

If you're concerned about how your song would be categorised on their radio channel, then you need not worry about that because that decision is simply not up to us. That's entirely in the hands of the people who run that channel. I've found some of my entries to the PG radio in quite the unexpected categories myself  Same goes for the Showcase songs list, btw.

I have gotten zero plays from it in the many months PGradio has promised that one only needs to post their appropriate Soundcloud tracks in the User Showcase. Sorry, but that's not a very exciting number.
"PG Radio is here... on SoundCloud ...
- if you don't have a soundcloud.com account with your songs, please get a SoundCloud.com account, and then post all your song links in a single message so we can add them to the radio playlist!
- if you do have a soundcloud.com account with your songs, and have been using the links with your User Showcase posts, there's nothing you need to do, since we can find the posts and add the links to the PG Radio."
I have only used Soundcloud, and have only posted in User Showcase.

You still have to promote your own music! It just gives you a convenient Radio Station to post your links. Are you directing people (friends/family) to your music?

Which makes you eligible, doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get selected. So it seems to me you may have read a bit too much into their information about this feature  To be fair, though, I also have to admit this also rather looks like yet one more case where the team comes up with a 'nifty new feature', only to seemingly run out of steam with it as time passes. I, for example, haven't really noticed all that much renewing of tunes on these channels lately (I count myself lucky in that sense to have gotten in there early on, while they were still enthusiastic about it).

I'm not expecting anyone to promote my music, but myunderstanding is that there should be random plays according to category. Correct me if I'm wrong about that, but one would expect that if people are selecting a category and "letting it rip", randomly you should get plays**. If on the other hand there is an algorithm that favors the popular, I could see why something could sit at the bottom forever and never get played. Perhaps that is how it works and is what people here are trying to tell me. **unless one has only an extremely obscure category. However, I read somewhere earlier in the thread someone had written that it is Soundcloud who actually categorizes stuff, regardless of what tags the user puts in. So, the obscure category thing isn't going to happen, anyway. Honestly I'm looking at this more as a puzzle than anything. It's true I don't promote my music very much, and for good reason.

Okay, now that's interesting, Icelander. Selected by whom? If you mean by PGMusic, then yes it all makes sense, they simply haven't chosen my tunes. Here I was thinking that they just pile ALL submitted tunes into the PGRadio station(s). If you mean selected by the user, then the question defaults to what I have already said about random hits.

Um, no that's not me doing that, that's the Universe!
But seriously, Don, what are you trying to say? I don't have a bad attitude about this in the least. My reporting my experience is pretty level and factual in tone. And I'm not sure how the quote you bring up, namely my response to Icelander, fits in to the adage. Who am I "punishing", in your mind? I can't see where anything I reported or remarked even rises to the level of a mild criticism, let alone a bad attitude. My apologies if I have completely misunderstood your remark...but I really don't think I have. You are saying, it seems clear, that PGMusic did something nice that it didn't have to and here I am whining about it and show little appreciation for it. I'd suggest that that is not only reading a whole lot into my sparse remarks, but is a biased view in itself. Because, I have a right to value or not value the "extra", especially if I express myself in a respectful and reasonable way about it. Please show me where I haven't if you disagree.
