I suppose if this gives me Classic FM Listen Again in the same
Squeezebox plugin as BBC Listen Again it would be an improvement. I'm
just nervous that we're going to lose more than we might gain. For
example I'm hoping for 320kbps AAC streams on all stations both live
and listen again, but a common industry platform might instead force
all stations to use 128kbps MP3 (for example) at which poing frankly FM
sounds better.

I'm also nervous that there will be a multi year gap between losing
iPlayer radio and gaining UKRadioPlayer, leaving us with nothing in the
interim. Coupled with Scotland losing radio on Freeview in the evening
for a very minority TV channel, radio is looking like a very poor
relation to TV at the moment at the BBC.
