Folk disappeared as an itunes category some months ago - at least at the itunes store it did.

Perhaps its related to your disappearance (!!)

And another oddity: when I first opened up the list of available radio stations in iTunes, "Folk" was one of the categories listed.

I clicked on it and it disappeared.

I've just discovered what iTunes can do with web radio. Makes it pretty convenient to have stations organized into your own playlists.

But how do I add something iTunes doesn't already know about?

The one I'm listening to right now: Hungarian Folk Radio . I dragged the text for the WinAmp stream onto the Dock icon for VLC - that works, as does the lower-quality Windows Media Player mono stream. Doing the same for iTunes doesn't do anything, for any of the three kinds of stream on offer. Nor can I drag any item from the station's browser window to anything in any iTunes window - there's nothing there to drag streams onto.

Is there a trick?
