Just bought myself the 32 GB ipod touch. Loving it and using it to control iTunes via AE. I need to check something with other users. Can you guys control/change internet radio via iPod Touch. I have been listening to internet radio via AE in the kitchen but realised that there is no option to change radio station via iPod Touch. Can the unit actually handle internet radio?

I use my iPhone to control internet radio streamed from iTunes, but that's not what you meant, is it?

If you put radio stations in an iTunes playlist you can select them. Ones that are available in iTunes only though, obviously.

Re: iPod Touch as remote via AE

What I mean is that on the iPod touch, i cannot see any list of Radio stations available, simialr to what I see on iTunes. I actually need to start up the internet radio on iTunes and then connect my iPod touch via AE, and I will see the radio station chose on my iPod. I can still control volume but no to browse through the list of available radio station. I hope what I am asking here make sense.

Right, it does now, and no, you're right - you can only browse music in a playlist. But you can add all the radio stations available in iTunes into a 'Radio' playlist and use that - searching's just not great...
