The WebbIE iPlayer Radio program will be unaffected by the changes to
Sounds, I understand. But I do not have anything official!

I think you should check that you are using the latest version of Webbie.
For me files are downloading in aac format which I convert to mp3 if needed
which does not sound like what is happening with you.
Having said that I do notice this truncating of programs sometimes but
when it occurs it is always I find the fault of the BBC which has shortened
the program recording rather than having anything to do with Webbie.
For example yesterday I downloaded and saved ,
2 episodes of DeadRingers , Claire in the Community, Just a minute,
Morecombe and Wise, 9 Lessons and Carols, A play called Far side of the
Moore, From Russia with love, Thunderball,, A play about Ken Dodd, a play
called Their humble Servants, and Dad’s Army.
I have checked all of these now and none have finished early for me.

Hi, my problem is that for some reason webbie downloads, which appear as
MP4 files don’t record, or download all the programme, at least a 30
seconds fap at the end?
What am I doing wrong?
Anybody using BBC sounds on windows 10?

Yes it is working fine for me – I have just tried a sample program from
the Audio Described category which is the one I use the most.
Webbie breaks occasionally when the BBC mess around with the website but
Alastair normally does his best to catch up and it is working fine now, for
the time being.

Hi David. Do you know, if the BBC TV program still works, in Webbie?

Despite the so called death of the BBC iPlayer the Webbie Accessible
suite of programs, especially the BBC iPlayer Radio app is working as
well as it ever has for me on Windows 10.
I downloaded 26 programs yesterday from Radio 4 and Radio 4 Extra with
consummate ease for offline listening on my Daisy player. Just cursor down
to the desired station, press enter to bring up the available programs
list, tab to that program list and press enter to start any program
playing. If you want to save it just press control S and type in a filename
of your choice.
It could not be easier really.
If you want live BBC radio the Live BBC Radio app in the same suite of
programs is also still working fine.
If you want Podcast then there is also a Podcast downloader though
personally I still use QCast. Also Podcasts may be easier just to get
from the BBC website.
I think both Webbie and Speak On are classics of programming for the VI
community and not always fully appreciated. We would be the much poorer
for their absence.

On an iPhone the BBC sounds app seems relatively straightforward though
they do seem to want to tell you what you should be interested in listening
to rather than making it easier to browse like in the Webbie Suite.

Firstly, happy Christmas to you all and many thanks for all the help and
assistance over the last year.
I want to load BBC sounds on to my I-Phone and windows 10 computer.
Is there an idiot proof guide for this?
Again many thanks
