Thanks Terry for this. I've just installed tapin radio and will give it a
go. Though it seems this app is for listening to radio rather than
downloading radio progs? Another question please, does it only play live
radio or can it play programs from the BBC listen again player too?

TIA,
Amro

Hi tapin radio is so easy to use and set up, very screen reader friendly.
Just google it, and I'm sure you will like it.
