Apparently you cannot save a station on apple radio on a desktop? I even had a girl over who works for Apple and she said it's not possible.

Click the ellipsis after a radio song title, select "Smart Station" and you're done...

It doesn't just pop up quickly in iTunes help, but it's there.

Oh, and this has nothing to do with hardware. If anything, it's "desktop software." I'm moving the thread to the Applications forum.

Thanks GH, sorry about that.

I did it for 2 stations, but I cannot find the stations. Do you know where they are? I just see featured stations, Dance, Country...

Are you logged in? It can't save your stations unless you log in with your Apple ID.

YES, I was logged in, but I don't see where they are. I'm on Radio tab, says featured stations and mine are not there, just others.

Ok think I have it.

You have to search again the artist and at bottom says stations, very clunky, so under new tab, but you have to find the artist every time.

New problem: click play icon on station and nothing happens.

Above, when click on songs ask to join apple music to play your music, but I've paid already the $25 for Match.

For me it was simple. The song title was running in the top bar, with the little ellipsis next to it, and I just clicked the ellipsis...

Sorry. I got nothin' else to suggest. It works fine for me, both on my iMac (2007) and my MBP (2015) running Yosemite (10.10.5) with iTunes 12.2.2.25. And it crosses over to Music on my iPad, too, which is why I figured it was a log-in issue.

Do see them now, recently played, but odd, no "your stations", just recently played.
Also, I don't see way to consistently save a station for artist, just song.

But I did go to artist page and did save station, but it's not there, maybe it will appear tomorrow. Very buggy, even songs on station are not playing smoothly. Not complaining, just reporting. Thanks helping here G!
