Sobering but surely not a surprise. No guarantees. The BBC plans seems
to change at short notice.
A new public API supposed to be available in 2015 - seems to have

The update deal with the recent issue (a BBC update) which broke "Listen
Again". The replacement file also fixes the "live" stream by playing
MP3 streams but no station logos or metadata.
To update, downlooad the attached
Definitely the "6" is an issue but testing Applet with Squeezeplay is
showing up another error with the BBC program URL. Not sure if this is
Squeezeplay specici or whether Touch also has the error.

IIRC Since last Feb the live feeds on the BBC Applet have been broken so
you use the Logitech BBC app (under My Apps) to play live BBC stream
(MP3 format).
