For Radio, Touch etc Triode has developed an applet for user to play
"Listen Again" which should work on MySB.com when 7.5 is released.

However, the applet doesn't help SB2,SB3, Boom, Transporter and Duet
users.

Since Jan the BBC have "offically" made WMA streams of "Listen Again"
available. These programs have been made available on the
iPlayerConvertor site (
http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/reciva_instructions.aspx ) - SB users
can add the WMA urls as podcasts feeds on MySB.com.  These feed are
complete but users then have a long menu to navigate which I found
cumbersome.  

As a trial (and to satisfy a personal need) I have created a number of
OPML feeds which can be entered as Favorites into MySB.com (or your SBS
if you don't like plugins/applets).  These OPML feeds have short list of
popular programs (using BBC RSS feeds) by station (10 top) and by
category (5 top).  Also there is an OPML feed to previous 7 days program
by time of day for main stations.

The WMA streams in the OPML feeds are the international ones (i.e.
48kbits/sec) as MySB.com is based outside of the UK. I don't know if
these work for UK users.

Top Level URLs to be used in Favorites

Previous Days programs

The menus are chained OPML files so it is possible to create a Favorite
just for a submenu such as 
Popular Comedy

Popular Radio 7    
http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/repos/bbc/cats/MostPopularbyStation-BBC7mostpopular.opml
Radio 3 yesterday  
http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/repos/bbc/days/Radio3-Radio3Yesterday.opml
Radio 4 Today      
http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/repos/bbc/today/Radio4FMToday.opml

The menu are updated at different intervals (assuming my PC is up) 
- Today feeds are checked about 6 times during the day.
- Popular feeds are checked about 3 times a day during the day.
- Previous days are checked once a day at about 1am.

I don't actively use all the feeds so it is possible there are problem
in some.  The "Previous days" feeds may be most unreliable.
This is a trial with no committments given on availability.
