New BBCiPlayer

[Eric Mc]

Anyone noticed the changes today?

Looks a mess - and the link to Radio 4 (at least) seems a bit flakey.

Why do they make changes for no obvious reasons?

Agreed, the old page was simple and easy to see the Beebs highlites, now there is way too much info on one page.

Shame really

A mate of mine is on the dev team. Judging by his tweets, this version is to include social media stuff, like recommending shows on FB, Twitter etc.

[rsv gone!]

As an aside Eric, if you just want a simple way to listen to live BBC radio, there are quite a few sidebar applications for Windows Vista and 7, which make it very easy. You don't need a browser open.

Eg http://vista.gallery.microsoft.com/liveItemDetail....

Cheers!

Won't be recommending anything to anybody unless they sort all those stupid sound anomalies out.

A lot of content wasn't working yesterday and this morning 6 Music live sounded like it was being played through an underwater speaker.

I've had to revert to my music collection instead, although in a few minutes the Radiohead Prague download will be complete and I can watch that.

I couldn't get it to play on my iPhone today. Quicktime player just sat there doing nothing.
