What you have done is nothing to do with Alien and I cannot help. I don't think those sort of links are useful are they are not the proper URL and will probably break when AlienBBC is updated or the database ids changed as it depends on the assigned playlist id. It is best to save the actual BBC

Thanks for that. I hadn't realized - with respect to your Point #1 - that the Beeb was available in this format outside the UK (I'm a Birkenhead lad living in Dallas, TX), so I'll go that route and save new playlist URLs. I guess I still need Alien outside the UK for all the Beeb archive stuff

The availability of WMA stream (albeit at 48kbit) outside of the UK was only enabled in June so you can play the live stream through SqueezeNetwork - no need for SC. At present for non UK users - the Listen Again iPlayer programs are in RealAudio and AAC. AAC format gives better quality but is
