I just checked the Squeezebox, and sure enough, the wma stream now works
for me on Radio 4. One door closes, another opens.

Without prior announcement (which seems to be the BBC's preferred way to
doing things), as of today the BBC has dropped the use of RealMedia streaming
for all its BBC Local Radio stations, BBC Radio Scotland, BBC Radio Ulster
and BBC Radio Wales. When one tunes in to any of these stations, he or she
is greeted by a voice telling the listener to go to the BBC iPlayer web page
and download the Flash (sic) and/or WindowsMedia link "for internet and wifi
radio devices".
Except, as far as I know, there isn't a player made right now that can play
Flash streams...
And upon going to the iPlayer web page, one is informed that the WindowsMedia
package has not yet arrived and that they hope to have it available by the
end of September.
(Warning! Rant coming.) To me, this is total cock-up by the BBC. No prior
warning, then a total lack of coordination involving the switchover leaving
listeners in the lurch for an indefinite time. To add to the problems, there
have been issues with the Listen Again feature that have gone unresolved for
weeks now.
And we thought they just treated shortwave listeners with disdain.
