Yes the splitting into small chapters would make it difficult to
download and manage. The streams from the iplayer are now in WMA format
I think though so do you think this is a possibility?
I have left a message on the radio labs and iplayer FAQ as to wheather

Hi Triode,
The fast forward responce and speed through programs could be improved
which would be good. At the moment if listening to a three hour long

a feature to be fixed in the player firmware.
I think the main issue is how long it takes to
Hi,
I know it is possible to fast forward through a listen again playback
