Apple Music Radio Stations

[JDogg016]

First off, the Music Assistant is fantastic! I find it so easy to create automation using search and playing to groups of speakers. Thank you so much!

I cannot find out how to access 'Apple Radio' stations, specifically the few radio stations offered exclusively by Apple, such as Apple Music Hits, Apple Music Country, and Apple Music One. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to do this?

I don't think there is a way currently. At least as far as I have found. But, there is a pretty good workaround available that I have been using even before moving to MA. Apple also manages playlists that mirror those stations. They update the tracks regularly, so put it on shuffle and you have a good radio station simulator. On the plus side, there is a lot more variety in selection than those that have an apple radio station.
Certainly would love for the stations to be supported as well, as the workaround does not cover the "hosted" variety of stations.

There's currently no way to sync radio stations from providers to MA. The playlist workaround should work OK. We have talked about adding radios to MA but this currently does not have a high priority

Any update on the priority of this? As BluOS is missing propper Apple Music support i wanted to use MA for this but found out the Apple Music Radio streams are missing.

@marcelveldt I don't think we can already use external "dynamic playlists" can we?

I believe Spotify's weekly playlists work if you don't use a personal clientID

I dont use Spotify. I was asking this for pure Apple Music One radio stations as they expanded to 6 genres, and i use them a lot 😉
