BBC AAC Internet radio streams on Squeezebox
I'm totally confused really. When I spoke to an I player guy at the BBC to
find out why the Iplayer was made with flash which is very hard to use for
blind users, he said in fact the stram was windows media, and the container
for the controls was flash.
I begin to wonder if these people are just bull****ting to get rid of
questions that are beyond their scope.

Michael Chare asked on here a few weeks ago about whether it was possible
to receive the BBC's AAC Internet radio streams on any Wi-Fi-Internet
radio devices, so I thought some of you might be interested to know they
are now available on the Squeezebox if you install the Squeezebox's
iPlayer plug-in.
Some of the streams have been verified as being e.g. 128 kbps AAC where
appropriate, so I think it's pretty certain that they're the same streams
that are available via the iPlayer website (I'm certainly not aware of the
BBC launching any non-Flash-based AAC radio streams).
