One More Thing: BBC Radio via XSPF, SHOUTcast

Post categories: , , , 

Matthew Wood | 12:34 UK time, Friday, 3 October 2008

I recently posted my hack for exposing BBC Radio in iTunes. If you thought that was a bit of a closed platform to target, here's an update for you.

Fire it up and use it to explore our shows with XSPF, and listen via SHOUTcast.

Let us know how you get on!

    Sorry, but I don't get it.
    How do I generate the XSPF?

    I recently bought a Sony Giga Juke system, part of the attraction being that you could listen to Internet Radio on it. However, it just wants to push Live365 at you and you can't get BBC Radio on it. It does offer SHOUTcast as an alternative. Can I get BBC Radio using SHOUTcast and if so, how?

    I'm in the same position as mdmctavish. I've bought a Sony GigaJuke and was very dissapointed to find that I could not get BBC R4 via SHOUTcast. I contacted Sony UK and they said it was the "...the BBC's fault" in not transmitting R4 "..in the correct format...".
    Can you help me get R4 on my Sony Gigajuke?

About this blog

This is our new blog for BBC Radio Labs - a place where we show some of our prototypes for new sites and services. They are all at an early stage of development and some of them might not work quite right, some might look a bit sketchy and they may never be taken any further. They're what we call "betas". We'll write about every new beta we release on this blog so please play with them and come back here to let us know what you think. We'll also be writing about other things we're working on, how we do our work and anything else we think you might be interested in.
