This URL should get around the issue by giving mysqueezebox.com a single
UK specific URL (not a playlist which has multiple URLs picked depending
on the geo-ip) and adding the magic undocumented incantation "
#slim:noscan=1" created many years ago to get around this issue - it
tells the mysqueezbox.com server to let the player talk to station
first.  The down side it is one WMA URL and it is possible it will
overloaded and it will break if BBC changes the URL.

The better longterm solution is to use the Triode BBC iPlayer applet
which appears as BBC Radio under Radio menu - this can play other better
audio formats not just WMA - more choice less chance of overloaded/brken
URL.
