Hi Eleanor,
In answer to one of your possible questions, listened-to programmes from the
BBC cannot be transferred (without the IPlayer) from the original computer
to an IPod. This is because (without the IPlayer) the streams being
listened to are only temporary copies on the listening computer. Therefore,
one is left with the option of recording on to an external device (such as a
mini-disc, tape, or - wonderful if it works but it often doesn't - a CD,
with the help of a program like SoundForge or possibly GoldWave. To sum up,
outside Aunt Beet's geographical remit, it is difficult to do these things.

It can be downloaded and thereafter subsequent programmes of interest can be
downloaded and played within a 30 day period. However, as we have discussed
this is an option only available to those who have paid a TV liscence to the
BBC, which excludes (to the best of my knowledged and I stand corrected)
those living in Irish Republic. However, as discussed also, the radio
programmes can however be listened to via the iPlayer on-line within
Ireland. Some other I T buff like Flor might know more about downloading
the radio programmes via iTunes or on to an iPod. I have not got that far
in my technology yet.
