ber of genre stations.
Vevo is available in the United States and Canada.
Qello
At Qello, you can watch recorded concerts and music documentaries, and even view custom
Setlists, your own playlists of concert tracks. (You create Setlists only on the Qello Web site,
after which they appear in Qello on the Apple TV.) Read the
Qello FAQ
on the Web to find
out more about how Qello works. A 7-day free trial is available, and you can sign up directly
from the Apple TV. An All-Access pass costs $4.99 per month or $44.99 per year—without a
pass, you get only one track from every concert and a preview of each documentary.
Podcasts
With the Podcasts app, you can subscribe to, watch, and listen to the enormous collection of
audio and video podcasts from the iTunes Store.
In theory, podcasts, playback positions, and Stations (which are like playlists for podcasts),
sync over iCloud between the Apple TV, iTunes on you computer, and the Podcasts app
in iOS, but in reality the sync is unreliable. See the TidBITS article
Explaining Podcasts in
iTunes 11.1
for more information.
Radio
The Radio app gives you access to a directory of hundreds of online radio stations. Unlike
iTunes Radio, these stations aren't personalized, but are organized by genre.
