Welcome!
If you want to be able to access BBC Radio programming but can't use the iPlayer then the iplayerconverter website is for you, whether you use Windows Media Player, an Internet Radio or a mobile phone.
Your feedback and/or suggestions are always welcome.
RealAudio Update: It looks like the BBC have finally started to turn off RealAudio. Some programming is still available in RealAudio on the Listen Again pages, but I can't guarantee for how long. I'm looking into any alternatives for those of you struggling with the WMA streams on dial-up connections - if anyone has any ideas please let me know!Andrew

25th July 2010: Lots of BBC radio WMA links are broken due to a problem at the BBC's end - watch this space....
11th June 2010: Fixed day/date schedule RSS feeds - apologies to everyone finding the RSS feeds appeared to be empty.
1st June 2010: It looks like the RealAudio streams are finally being switched off. You may find some programs are still available in RealAudio on the Listen Again pages as opposed to the schedule pages, but I'm not sure for how long.
1st May 2010: Listen Again pages now show both the original Programme ID (PID) and the new Version PID. Use the former with software like Radio DL or get_player if you have problems.
23rd April 2010: The BBC have implemented a new system that should resolve UK/international issues for all national radio Windows Media links. Many thanks to Paul Webster for the details.
