(Windows Media Connect users can continue to use WMC for your music library, and just use iTunes for this feature.)

2.Find the stations that you would like to play on SoundBridge Radio; browse the iTunes Internet radio station list by clicking on the Radio button on the Source tray of iTunes, or import a specific URL from its online source.
