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
