... And I just realised I didn't answer your final question. In all honesty, I can't think of a workable solution right now, it's a tough one to solve (captain obvious to the rescue!) Give me a while to come up with something... Must add though, when I wanted to timeshift radio in the past (when I was but a nipper), I always found a C90 worked quite well - at least for 2 or 3 months until I somehow managed to completely destroy them. I suppose the question I should ask you back is, IS there a demand for that specific kind of service? We can theorise on different ways to implement a time-limited, managed platform for content distribution and consumption, but the existing systems such as Listen Again work pretty well imo, and pop music is so repeated on network radio there's no real need to offer timeshifted playback of those kind of shows, you'd be creating supply where there is no demand. Or is there demand? Have I completely misinterpreted what you're saying? Feel free to correct / educate / dissect what I've said. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
