I recently created a plugin to play Classic FM's live and listen again
content, based on the Flash AAC streams published on Classic's UK Radio
Player console. The quality of the streams does not match the BBC AAC
streams, but they are quite listenable. The plugin also makes available
a number of other stations within Classic's parent group.

It has been successfully running on my Mac OSX system with attached
Squeezebox Classic and SqueezePlay, and I have no reason to suppose
that it won't work on any other system, too. But that has yet to be
tested. It uses the RTMP support provided by the BBC iPlayer plugin, so
it requires that plugin to be installed too.

I've set up a repository for anyone who may like to test it out. The
plugin can be installed using the server's Extension Downloader by
adding http://mrw-plugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo.xml to the list
of Additional Repositories in the Extension downloader. For a manual
download, visit the project home page:
http://code.google.com/p/mrw-plugins. 

If you let me know of a problem, I shall try to fix it (a log would be
helpful).

One thing I plan attend to is the layout and content of the menus.
These mirror Classic's UK radio player console, and I find that the
titles are too long for comfortable navigation on the player. That
shouldn't be difficult to deal with.
