OK, I'm coming late on this thread, but didn't 5live also do the commentary on the opening ceremony? If so, how can one listen to it? It used to be the case that one could click on the name of the program within the schedule and there would be a listen again link, but when one clicks on the link of the show for the time when the opening ceremony happened all we get offered is the 4 mins clip. Also, even if we were able to listen to the show, it'd probably let us listen to full show from 6 PM and, unless I'm mistaken, one can not fast forward with a screenreader when listening to the on demand from the BBC.
Again, perhaps both of those things, listening to the 5 live commentary again and fast forward/rewinding on the BBC radio on demand was discussed previously here, so if it was, feel free to message me off list so we don't bore everyone else with what's already been talked about.

OK, I sort of ran out of time to upload the full thing. What I've done is to chop out all of the country parades up until where Team GB come in. Then I've transcoded it to a high quality AAC file. The extension is mp4; in the extremely unlikely event your player doesn't recognise it try renaming the extension to .m4a. The resulting file is 66mb. But once again, please don't complain that you wanted to hear the Zambian athletes being described. Cos it ain't there! Here's the link: https://www.box.com/s/0924f389b84f83f0828a Incidentally, I was wondering where you can get the amazing music from the industrial and flame lighting sections. Turns out you can't without buying a whole album. However, I've seen these links floating around. For the purposes of technical interest only, I had a look and reckon they might be working. I couldn't possibly say whether visiting the links would be the right thing to do, though. But given then a fair few of your tax pounds have paid for it, I wouldn't blame you if you did!

It's not a button, it's a link hidden right at the bottom of the second page.It being a zip wouldn't have helped; it would have probably actually made the file larger.

Many apologies, Petrena. I had got caught out by 1 of those big fakedownload buttons. In fact there are 4 download links on that page and only 1is the genuine mp3. So just to be wary of that!
