The easiest way to get to programs you want without knowing when they're on is to search. So, in your case, search for "Cerys".
It's not the same as a list that shows you, for example, all the shows on Radio 2. But I quite like the serendipity that it shows, in the example above, a number of rather more disparate shows featuring Cerys, that might tempt me over to Radio 4 for Loose Ends - I'd never have done that with the iPlayer lists! I think I use search more than I use any of the menus, really. Also don't forget if your choice of preferred programs is short (and mine is) that subscribing to programs and using My Sounds gives you instant access to everything you like with the newest shows at the top - and you get 14 days, not 7. Go in through the subscription option and you'll often see months, or even years, of old shows. While Sounds often frustrates me, it's easy to overlook some of its really neat features - it's certainly worth poking around a bit more and finding what it can really do. bpa wrote: > You're right the BBCiPlayer used a feed which used to supply a full list > of all programs broadcast in last 7 days per station.

Indeed, while I used and liked those feeds, the Sounds way of doing things is just different - sometimes better, sometimes worse. But in the end, it's the only option we have, so we need to learn to play with it and enjoy the benefits. expectingtofly wrote: > There are a number of little problems with the meta data display > (especially if you rewind).

All the BBC's fault, though - just a bit too chatty...
