Since June 2009 BBC have WMA streams for all live national for non UK listeners - so there is no need for any plugin to listen to - you can use BBC App on SBS and on mysqueezebox.com. BBCiPlayer enables you to play the Flash/AAC streams which are better quality for same bit rate. > > - Should I downgrade Squeezecenter (and therefore MySQL) so I can use > AlienBBC again (where I had no issue). > No - BBC will kill off the streams in March 2010.
