Thanks to everyone for their help and information. The revised and working
widget is at - http://widgets.yahoo.com/widgets/bbc-radio-iplayer-plus
For the next release I'm looking at various improvements in the look and
feel of the app and providing fuller program information.
Thanks
Ray

That's a useful set of links - thanks! I'd looked at feeds.bbc.co.uk a while
back for my purposes, but found a slight problem in that there's no link to
the mediaselector, so you'd have to parse the id tag to get the PID
(hoping the format of the tag doesn't change!) in order to get RealAudio
links. Perhaps it may be time for me to reconsider that...
This does illustrate one of the slight problems with mashing BBC data -
there's so many feeds to choose from, and it's not clear which are official
and stable feeds, vs experimental and/or obsolete. So far I know of, have
used, or am using:
feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer
www.bbc.co.uk/programmes
www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod
www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/mtis/stream
www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlist
Some have differing purposes, and I'm sure several of these were only ever
supposed to be internal, but it would be nice to know which particular feeds
we should or shouldn't be using for our experimentation.

Ray,
I've done similar work myself for www.iplayerconverter.co.uk
(including a Now and Next Google Gadget I really must get round to
updating). I use the Audio on Demand feeds, which you can find at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/availability/ station name .xml
From that you can get a title, synopsis, and link to the mediaselector
XML from which you can get the iPlayer and RealAudio links.
Only downside is that as far as I'm aware it's only for national radio
- I'm sure someone can correct me if local radio is now available.
You have to guess a bit at the station names - this is the list of
stations I've been able to find so far.
