Itunes radio station bookmarks

This morning, NONE of the iTunes radio bookmarks I had in an itunes
folder worked. None. Nada.

I had to go through the whole list of radio stations to re-add my
favourites one by one (and that list has the "search" function disabled
making process harder).

The URLs seemed to have all changed. (from the Get info panel, you can
see the http: URL used to get the music from the station)


Was I just unlucky that all of my favourites seemed to change URLs in a
short period of time, or did Apple do a mass change to the radio station
URLs ?

Is there a way to update a radio station to get the new URL, or is the
only way to go through the tedius process of locating each radio station
from the long list and then adding it back to the folder containing my
favourites ?

Same thing happened to me, so it looks like a mass change.

I had it happen as well. No big deal. But I *thought* that the change
was due to my upgrading to Mountain Lion. Is this a Mountain Lion or
general phenomenon?

Am on Snow Leopard and don't recall software upgrades being done in the
last couple of weeks.

I also am having a problem with my iTunes radio playlists. I have multiple machines on my home network both wired and wireless running the Mac OS 10.5.8 and on my Windows machines XP,Vista and Win7 and the URLs for the stations has been changed and the stations no longer work.

Here is a sample of the changed URLs (from GetInfo)

://pri.kts-af.net/redir/index.pls?esid=38688577d30de04f24cfcd3711079057&ur l_[/url] no=1&client_id=7&uid=68efed4d03ec7e45fd3978262c107 180&clicksrc=xml

//pri.kts-af.net/redir/index.pls?esid=8743a6016a39eb6c518833906c8495a1&ur l_[/url] no=1&client_id=7&uid=68efed4d03ec7e45fd3978262c107 180&clicksrc=xml

://pri.kts-af.net/redir/index.pls?esid=c7a4a3e7408deb2a9d5eda555222b1a2&ur l_[/url] no=1&client_id=7&uid=68efed4d03ec7e45fd3978262c107 180&clicksrc=xml

This same kind of change happend on all my machines and the iTunes radio station lookup no longer work either showing an error message.

Can anyone point me to a reason for these changes?

Thanks
