Welcome!

This site aims to provide a solution to those of us missing the ease of use of the old RealPlayer-based BBC Radio Player, which has now been subsumed into the BBC iPlayer. Moreover, there are many devices that still don't support the new iPlayer technology, so rely on the old way of doing things.

Your feedback and/or suggestions are always welcome.
