Folk Becomes Eclectic

September 24, 2009

Many Folk Alley listeners who stream us via iTunes radio have written in to tell us they're having trouble finding our service on the latest version 9 update. Apple, in their infinite wisdom and without the courtesy of informing the people who actually use their service, ditched the Folk category all together (as well as the Public category and some others). Fear not, you can still find us on iTunes. Now, please look for Folk Alley neatly tucked between "Fistful of Soundtracks - Broadcasting the music of the movies since 1997" and "Friends Yearbook Big Hitz" in the Eclectic category in the iTunes radio listings.

Harsh, man. Ditched, without even the courtesy of a good-bye dinner!

I get Sirius free for a year with my new car, and they don't even know the definition of "folk music"! What I get is acoustic rock or mainstream pop songs! You'd think with the technology explosion going on they'd cover all music types. Why do we folkies get ignored?????

Leanna: I share your frustration over Sirius & its total absence of folk music (save bluegrass). XM has a folk station, but it is not offered on Sirius. Complain to Sirius so that I am not the only folk music afficianado to do so.

A Folk Alley station on Sirius would be ideal!
