Disable iTunes Radio

rybu0305 · 03-09-2004, 11:20 AM

My company would like let people use iTunes to listen to Music CD's or whatever but we don't people to use up bandwidth listening to the Radio stations. Is there a way to disable this feature in iTunes?
Thanks,

Sadly, not using a firewall. All iTunes Radio traffic is on port 80. Blocking that would make people unable to use any web browser as well.

However, if you used Little Snitch, you could block any iTunes (out-going) traffic to any port 80. Little Snitch requires an admin password to turn it on/off/modify it's rules. Might work for ya?

Tis not free, however.

Try blocking ports 42000-42999 at your router.
