Thanks again - I've now removed my wife's BBC R1 favourite and replaced it with the BBC Sounds R1. An instant advantage of this (not to mention the ability to go back in time!) is the fact that it now displays the actual song name/programme name - which isn't the case with the standard BBC plugin. It's been bugging me for years - why have I waited so long!!!
