We could not verify a current public Apple submission process for the iTunes Internet Radio directory. The old form and spreadsheet instructions should not be treated as an active way to get your station listed. Apple still documents internet radio playback in iTunes on PC, which is separate from submitting a station to a directory.
The old station submission address now redirects to Apple’s general iTunes page. The support site used by the copied spreadsheet instructions no longer resolves in our checks. We have removed those instructions, email contacts and review-time estimates because we could not verify them as current.
These checks do not establish a shutdown date for the directory or mean that all iTunes radio playback has stopped. See Apple’s current iTunes internet radio guide for PC for the playback features Apple documents.
Apple documents the following steps for iTunes on PC. They apply where iTunes still provides music playback. If Music is missing from the menu, Apple says to use the Apple Music app installed on your device; do not assume the same menu steps apply there.
Use your station’s direct audio stream URL. Playing it this way does not submit your station or add it to the iTunes Internet Radio directory. For a directory station already listed in iTunes, Apple’s guide describes Music > Library > Internet Radio.
TuneIn offers a station listing request form, linked from its official broadcaster help page. Follow the current requirements there. A request does not guarantee acceptance or placement in Apple Music or the iTunes Internet Radio directory.
For other options, read our internet radio station directory guide. Choose directories with a working broadcaster submission process.
Before requesting a listing with another directory, check its current requirements and have your station information ready:
For help with the stream itself, see what you need to stream live with Shoutcast or Icecast. We do not recommend changing your bitrate or format to match the old iTunes submission rules.
