Since the iTunes Radio service is free, it will inevitably interfere with advertising. This article is intended to share with you how to block iTunes Radio ads. There are currently three ways to achieve this effect, from official, third-party applications and native techniques. Method 1: iTunes Match has iTunes Match, all your music, even the songs you imported from the CD, can be stored in iCloud. Access your music from all your devices and listen to your entire library, no matter where you are. Once music is added to iCloud, it can be played on any device. Just browse through the list of music stored in the cloud and tap it to play. Users can at least 25,000 songs in iCloud. What Apple doesn't mention is that the annual subscription to iTunes Match can remove iTunes Radio's built-in ads for $24.99 a year. Needless to say, this is an officially designated solution for "de-advertising", but it costs a little more than the two approaches described later. It is recommended to use iTunes for a long time, or a small partner who does not like toss. iTunes Match subscription address >> Method 2: Using a third-party application IrradiateIrradiate is a free third-party "de-advertising" app for the Mac platform, produced by Sebastian Hallum Clarke, a 17-year-old New Zealand developer, with separate Software development company Zibity, and Irradiate is produced by this company, people admire! (More about the App can be found on the About Zibity page. If you like this app, you are advised to make a donation to the developer, please go to the Donate page.) Since Irradiate is based on modifying the hosts file, "block iTunes Radio ad server" Effective, so limited by the Mac App Store Sandbox, developers are not on the shelves to the Mac App Store, readers need to go to the official website to download. The use of Irradiate is very simple. Click Block Ads to get the effect right away (above); to restore, open Irradiate again and click Restore Ads (below). Solved the advertising troubles on the Mac side, how can the iOS side achieve the same effect? Zibity also released the related tutorial (requires iOS 7+ system version), which is like this: enter this page on iOS device (need to be scientifically connected), long press the link and then click "copy"; open the "Settings - Wireless LAN" window Click the blue "i" button on the right side of the connected WiFi; change the mode of the "HTTP Proxy" at the bottom to "Auto" and paste the copied link into the "URL" text box. By restarting the device, the ad server can be successfully blocked. (Note: This method needs to be repeated every time you change Wi-Fi.) Zibity says the method is based on an HTTP proxy file implementation that helps current iOS devices bypass the Apple iTunes Radio ad server over a wireless LAN instead of blocking it. The main difference from the Mac implementation. Of course, the entire process will not produce a "private data leak" phenomenon. If you have more questions, please contact the developer directly. Method 3: Modify the hosts file yourself. When switching to the Finder, open the path /etc with the CMD-Shift-G key combination to quickly navigate to the folder where the hosts file belongs. A small partner who has already used Irradiate can see that a special line has been added to hosts in this case: 127.0.0.1 iadctest.qwapi.com , which is the iTunes Radio ad server that has been blocked. We can also add the same effect directly by manually adding the hosts file to the desktop, manually adding the above URL address to it, and saving it; overwriting the hosts file back to the original location, it is recommended to check it again after completion, to ensure that it is correct; Windows Users can also use the same method of modifying the hosts file, and will not go into details here. There are countless ways to block it in the final advertisement on the Internet. For example, Weblock, which was recommended by the minority yesterday, can block the ads in the app, and the steps are the same as Irradiate for iOS devices. However, blocking ads in this way, although let us get a better experience, but also affect the income of the manufacturers, we must know that advertising is a profitable way for many manufacturers to survive, therefore, we still strongly recommend that if a The product brings value to you, so it is the best way to pay for some fees through official channels to remove advertising.
