I've put something together to allow me to Listen Again to BBC RealAudio streams on my Axim (X51v, WM5 A12 ROM) out of sheer exasperation with the Beeb and Real for their lack of support for Pocket PCs.

The Beebotron provides the RealAudio streaming links to BBC audio programmes, and you'll need RealPlayer installed to listen.

If you use these links you will be able to listen to BBC programmes on a WM5 Pocket PC:

(a) that don't have 'play in standalone Real Player' (or words to that effect) on the BBC Radio Player site

(b) as an alternative to using the Beeb's 'play in standalone Real Player' link but without the .ram files being dumped on your PPC

The link is here:
The Beebotron

As you'll see from the site it's pretty embryonic, so any comments, criticisms, suggestions etc would be welcome.

Happy Christmas to all from Kronalias!

looks like it could be really interesting...


BBC7 please please please please....

This week I have been mostly listening to..... Short cummings audio

Life — In Funny, Six-Minute Slices

     

Well, my first attempt was a bit ropey! I've reprogrammed things from scratch so hopefully things now work a bit better. If not then please let me know.

The Beebotron website is here...

The Beebotron

... and due to popular demand (i.e. Andy asked for it) Beebotron now includes all of the BBC live rtsp RealAudio feeds for all the BBC 7 Listen Again programmes.

Any feedback on the site would be appreciated! Cheers, Kronalias

Now all of the BBC streams are up on the Beebotron. They are:

1Xtra
6 Music
Asian Network
BBC 7
Radio 1
Radio 2
Radio 3
Radio 4
Five Live
World Service

Hope this works! Cheers, Kronalias
