The BBC is making it increasingly difficult. You may have to trawl
their pages for the links, or try <
http://dave.org.uk/streams/> (which
has, alas, been increasing neutered recently), however the raw yaml
format <
http://dave.org.uk/streams/streams.yaml> should give you all
you need.
You could be forgiven for thinking that the BBC didn't really want you
to listen again. So much for public service broadcasting.
