![]() Seeding with Randy Stonehill, iHeartRadio threw in two Burl Ives songs the first couple times I used that playlist.Sometimes you’ll hear the other version after just one or two other ones have played. Seeding with Johnny Cash gives you a lot of country music variety, but it doesn’t know that live and studio versions of I Walks the Line – to name one example – are the same song but from different albums. ![]() For the most part, it does a decent enough job picking music, but there have been some epic fails: IHeartRadio often fails when creating your personalized playlists. Clicking on the thumbs up icon tells iHeartRadio to play that track and ones like it more frequently. When it picks a song you don’t want to hear again, clicking on the thumbs down icon will block that song from your current playlist and skip to the next track. From there, you can have the music selector pick familiar tracks, less familiar tracks, or a mixture of the two. IHeartRadio lets you create personalized “radio” stations based on a genre, a recording artist, or a specific song. A small price to pay for clearer reception – or listening to a station that’s not in your listening area. Listening to radio stations on iHeartRadio isn’t bad (Clear Channel, which produces iHeartRadio, owns over 800 stations), although you do get regular commercial interruption from iHeartRadio itself in addition to those on the radio station itself. Using the Internet, we got great reception. I started using iHeartRadio at work because we would sometimes have poor reception from one local station, and we would get static if a high-low was operating nearby. Problem is, while all the other sources have pretty consistent volume levels, iHeartRadio doesn’t. It’s a good thing the stereo has lots of power and a big speaker (see Listening to iDevice Music on Your Stereo for more details). The air compressors in the next room over are noisy, and so is the machine that crimps the ends on each hose. ![]() ![]() We listen to radio, podcasts, my iTunes collection, and iHeartRadio at work while we assemble high pressure air hoses. ![]()
