I was very skeptical when the new download came out for the iPhones a few weeks ago. I wasn't sure if I was going to like all the changes and I didn't know how different things would be with the new one. There are things I like and don't like but I think one of my favorite things about it and something that I am getting a lot of use out of is iTunes Radio!
If you haven't used ITunes radio yet I recommended trying it as soon as you get a chance or next time you get a chance! I was just going to ignore its presence in my music until my friend convinced me and told me all the great things about it! It is a lot like Pandora but right in your music app. You can type in a song, artist or genre to choose from what kind of songs you like. If you don't want to type in something certain there are categories of stations you can pick from that they think you would like. When you have found a station it starts on a setting of Hits. This means you are listening to more common music that you hear more. You can go to the info button on the top middle and change that though! You have the options on a scale from Hits to Variety to Discovery. Discovery are usually not very well know songs but things that it thinks you will like! Variety is in the middle of those two so you get some hits and some not common songs. When there is a song playing you can pick the star to click that you like the song and to play more songs like that but there is also an X so you can click to never play the song again. You can skip songs but be careful because there is a limited amount of skips. You can also use the + button to add it to an iTunes wish list of songs you want to buy or you can even buy them right on the spot. There is also a button to change if you want to allow explicit tracks or not that way you can choose that depending on what kind of crowd you are in. If you are really enjoying a song you can make a new station from that song you are listening to which is always handy to have more then one station depending on your mood.
You can make as many stations as you want and can change at anytime. I love iTunes radio and I am so glad this is a new things in the music app. I am currently listening to the Lana Del Rey station as I type, which by the way I recommend! I love finding new songs so I always have it on discovery and I have found new songs already that I want to buy and now I cant stop listening to! I hope that you try it and can find some good songs you love too!
