Thanks for this. I have now installed Real Alternative and have no problems with live BBC streams. But the Listen Again links are somewhat unpredictable. Some play normally although with a certain amount of distortion during the first minute or so, but others take me to the file download dialogue and when I choose "Open" nothing happens. I did not experience this with Real One though. Douglas On 20 Oct 2004 at 3:13, Angel wrote: > Yes you can listen to the bbc using real alternative.
