I agree, in that I do prefer Podcasts as they are much more flexible but, unfortunately, not everything is available as a podcast. They could just do away with DAB altogether for example and put their money into Podcast development!

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.
