@eek: Thanks but I did read Jim's latest reply and IMHO "we have a call
booked with Logitech tomorrow morning" means next to nothing. Even if
something is agreed, how long will it take for a solution to be
developed, tested and made available? During which time we have limited
if any service.

Even then why should thousands of people have to spend countless hours
finding, downloading and installing, breaking, re-installing etc. to get
back to a user experience that the BBC could provide once more if they
simply turned the AAC SHOUTcast streams back on now?

HLS and HDS might be a good long-term approach (I do not know enough to
comment), but I do know that such a siesmic change requires considerate
management and a long and well publicised period of parallel running to
enable listeners to switch over... Just as was done for digital TV.
