Radio programmes are added to iplayer fairly soon after transmission, so
I rarely need to listen to radio 4 live, and have never actually heard
radio 7 live, but grab lots of stuff from both to listen to when I can.
get_iplayer works fine for me on an MPC-L [1], beloved hardware of the
_Ubuntu Podcast [2] _listeners, but I do then put it on an mp3 player
(Archos 1 Vision [3], so I can watch the TV programmes I get, too),
rather than through an audio system. My MPC-L is running Ubuntu (Server
10.04.1), so the request is not as OT as it could be!
