:sigh: does anyone know of a plugin for realplayer on firefox? and quicktime?

computer at work dislikes both, won't install them and this of course makes it impossible for me to do the listen again thing on bbc. (seriously, bbc, you have iplayer working fine as flash, why the hell does all your radio stuff have to be in realplayer once it's listen again?)

work needs to die in a ditch.

You're using FF3, yesno?

Real support is a bit flaky in terms of functionality, but does seem to work - what happens when you try to install it? - does it just do nothing, or does it cause the browser to hork as well?

As for Quicktime; FF3 nobbles it, as Quicktime pre7.2 tends to cause FF3 to fall over.

(relevant Mozilla knowledgebase article here.)

There's also a link I found a couple of months ago when trying to make Quicktime work.

(And a free Quicktime plugin here, though it may not like FF3.

Tried to install it on work computer, it does nothing. Same for quicktime. oh well...

Hmm. Unfortunately, my home desktop runs Win2k.

I think I've a spare WinXP box scrounged from somewhere lying around - I'll see if I can replicate the problem.

(Or is the offending machine a Vista box? - might be able to wangle that, too.)

Which channels do you want to listen to?

The new digital stations, including BBC 7 already offer audio in Windows Media Player as well as RealOne Player.

radio 4 and radio 2 mostly (concerts and dodgy humour mostly) which is of course, not covered. And the stuff that most people want to re-listen to.
