Absolutely - these are supported by a third party addition which is specifically designed to support BBC listen again programs. To clarify the two responses you have had (and in case anyone else has this question), there are two versions of my BBC listen again addtions: 1) "BBC Radio" applet which runs on the newer players - specifically Radio and Touch. This works in conjunction with the Logitech server "My Squeezebox.com" which controls your player from over the internet and is intended for users with just a Radio or Touch player. 2) "BBCiPlayer" plugin which requires you to have a local PC/NAS server machine running Squeezebox server (SBS). This supports all the old squeezebox players and has some additional functionality, so for users already running squeezebox server it is the best solution. Assuming you buy a Radio, to install the BBCRadio Applet: - go to the settings, advanced, applet installer menu - select "BBC Radio" applet and install it - when the player reboots it should show a new menu item under Internet Radio which includes all listen again streams. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84230 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
