[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I retract my previous statement - the .asx streams for all the bbc
radio
stations dont work - I just tested them !

1Xtra works tho - if thats useful to anyone !

You can get all BBC radio stations pumping through Sonos - i'll dump the
URLs if it's useful to you ?

I have a sonos, and since the recent firmware update a lot more
internet radio stations are listed in the list they maintain. Amongst
this list is a number of BBC Radio stations, Five Live, BBC 7 , etc. I
haven't checked but I expect these are picking up the windows media
versions of the BBC streams as sonos can only stream mp3 and wma at
the moment.

And I do love the sonos, it is an amazing product.
