I've had a fair amount of success using XSL-T on these pages:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/a
They're XHTML Strict (although I had to correct an extra double-quote on
- i think - the 0-9 page), so they'll parse and can be used to grab data
pretty successfully. To choose just radio it's:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/a/radio
...etc.
The main problem is that you can't grab everything using a keyword - you
need to do individual pages, and think about the fact that the results
are paged too.
Cheers
Russ.

Hi,
Is there a way of getting a "raw" RSS feed of the iPlayer content?
There seem to be lots of 'most popular' and 'highlight' feeds, but not
one with say, 'all radio' so you can use a tool to, say, keyword search
all the content.
