Which programmes are you getting a 404 for? Can you give some examples please. In theory, once the file is removed from live then there shouldn't be a link to them in the RSS feed.
Think because we only got rights from the PPL we have to stick to UK only on those podcasts. It is a shame but guess that's the rules we have to obey to get those podcasts out there. As for the BBCs rules on podcasts there is a nice page here http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/podcasts/terms/ about them. Also, from the FAQ: "Can I burn podcast episodes to CD? Yes, but the podcasts are for your personal non-commercial use only. All title, ownership rights and intellectual property rights in, and to, the BBC podcasts shall remain the property of the BBC or third parties. You may not edit, alter, adapt or add to the BBC podcast in any way." http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/help/faq/burn_podcast_to_cd.shtml Also, as for OggVorbis... There really isn't a demand (apart from here), so maybe worth voicing your opinion at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/contact/podcast_form.shtml instead. Don't think any one actually answered what Martin Belam wrote about what the "Usability" and "Value For Money" for Licence Fee payers would be in providing Ogg Podcasts. Anyway, thought you said your Generic Portable Ogg Vorbis Player plays MP3s ;) -C. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
