Hi James, Thanks for the quick response, and I'll checkout getsatisfaction.com.
So quickly on the tracklisting front. Once they're back in the /programmes pages, would these get updated as they're played. I.e. if I polled a tracklisiting feed from /programmes every 10 minutes, would I see the latest tracks as they're played? Or would the tracklisting only show up at the end of a programme? If the former then it may prove to be a more reliable data source than the last.fm feed, although it might still be easier to use than having to navigate to a tracklisting feed per programme, hmm....
