To support the older internet radios (until they are outnumbered by mobes/tablets which can play HDS/HLS/DASH) there will be probably be (Shoutcast) MP3 stream. I suspect there will be some clamour by the internet radio users who have been playing the WMA version of Listen Again programmes if these users lose access. What is also missing is how listeners outside the UK will be handled especially as it sounds like there will be more emphasis on broadcast rights perhaps reducing/removing access to Listen Again and just giving access to podcasts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
