      Hi Steve

      Thanks for this.

      I think there is a way of getting these as web feeds in the phone we 
browser but, not sure.

      I will have to have a look and report back!

      Thanks again though, I will put these to good use.

      Hi Paul, I've done 3 stations upto now, just the main ones I listen to.  
The first 1 is my local station which I'm sure you're not interested in.  The 
others are BBC 5Live and BBC 7, links are as follows.  I just sent these links 
to my phone via e mail and then open the links, saved them and then I've got 
them stored.  Ok here they are:
      BBC 5Live:
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/live/surestream.ram    

      BBC 7:
      http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/realplayer/dsatg2.ram   


      HTH, cheers Steve.

        Hi Steve

        That sounds interesting and I would like the links you have if that is 
OK?

        That is the kind of thing I would do too.

        Not sure how it would work for programming that changes regularly, but, 
things like listening live to radio should be fine I would think.

        Hi folks.  Yesterday I was a little frustrated, as I wanted to listen 
to some commentary on my phones FM radio as I walked home with my sons, but 
then found out that it was being broadcast over the internet instead.  BBC 
programs as you know, use the iPlayer to broadcast and therefore it isn't 
available via the phone unless you use a wi fi connection...and, of course, the 
iPlayer isn't supported anyway.

        Well tonight I put my thinking cap on to see if there was a way around 
this.  Now I don't want to presume people aren't doing this already, but as I 
haven't read any posts on this I'll tell you what I did and hopefully some of 
you may find it useful.  I went to my local BBC radio page and clicked on 
"listen live".  iPlayer opens and the radio stream begins.  I then opened a 
program I have which can detect the URL of any media currently playing.  Anyway 
from that, with a bit of editing from the beginning of the URL found, I was 
left with a direct link to the BBC stream that bypasses the iPlayer.  I sent 
this link via e mail to my phone, clicked on "open link" and hey presto real 
player kicked in and I had the station!

        I did the same for a few other BBC stations and all worked perfectly.  
I just saved the stream into the gallery for future use.  I guess this can be 
done for any station.  I'm going to try ITV tomorrow and see if that works 
aswell.  If anyone needs links to put into their phones, let me know and we'll 
see what we can do.  Cheers Steve.
