Welcome

If you take the time to surf the iTunes Application Store you'll notice that non of the radio streaming applications include BBC Radio

I've included the WMA (Windows Media Audio) streams of the National BBC Radio stations so you can listen to the BBC on your iPhone.

I know it would be a lot easier if Apple included copy and paste but it looks like for the time being you'll have to input the text manually.

I've also included a tutorial showing you how to listen to the audio streams on your iPhone or iPod Touch using the free application FStream created by Avérous Julien-Pierre.

If a link appears broken, you'd like to submit a tutorial or contact me the best way to do so is by emailing me.
