My main problem (as I may have already said) was that the iPlayer was painted 
as much more inaccessible than it actually is. It is indeed very poor that the 
areas which are inaccessible are inaccessible. However, the main functionality 
such as finding and playing programmes is far from inaccessible. Like every 
other website, all that is needed is to spend a little time getting to know it 
and a willingness to overcome the fear of Flash.

  Just to point out that Quicktime is perfectly accessible using voice over on 
my Apple mac book, I use it all the time for listening to audio books in mp3 
and I have had no problems listening to streams via the www.
  As the saying goes, works for me!   smile

  Devon, glorious Devon (first verse)




  Combe and tor,
  green meadow and lane,
  birds on the waving bough.
  Beetling cliffs by the surging main,
  rich red loam for the plough.
  Devon's the font of the finest blood
  that braces England's breed.
  Her maidens fair as the apple bud
  and her men are men indeed.

    Well, at least it isn't the Apple Quick Time player we're dealing with 
here, and that abounds in many podcasts.  A greater load of pance in lack of 
accessability is hard to imagine.
