Unfortunately - more or less - yes. The WMA (except Woreld Service) use 48kbps streams and RealAudio use 64kBits/sec stream. WMA and RealAudio use different codecs and so can sound different depending on content (e.g. pop/rock, classical, speech). The higher quality 128kbps MP3 streams are not available outside of the UK. If you want to create an SC or SN favorites (as sometime SC provided URls are out of date) for the WMA BBC streams - these BBC pages list the URLs - make sure you use the Windows Media section. http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/finding_programmes/real_wma_streams and World service WMA http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/help/streaming_programmes/local_radio_streams -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63461 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
