Constantly being told during radio programs that I can download them from the BBC website, but for me that appears to be impossible. I've registered, but looking at the programs that I want - The Craig Charles Funk & Soul Show on BBC Radio 6 shows only an option to listen - nothing about download at all. I've managed to register and download some TV stuff that I wanted (The wife recommended Take That from the Festival in a Day a couple of days ago), and that has come thru fine - but the radio section just appears to send me around in circles. I know that it can be done because they keep telling me, and I have downloaded programs from other sources. ------------- It's a difficult choice, would you rather have: A: A vegan son.

Thanx for the help but not a whole lot of use since the announcement is : ""a major new version of the BBC iPlayer Radio app for https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/iplayer-radio/id560458506?mt=8" rel="nofollow - iOS , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.bbc.android.iplayerradio&hl=en_GB" rel="nofollow - Android and http://www.amazon.co.uk/Media-Applications-Technologies-Ltd-iPlayer/dp/B00CH1NSXQ" rel="nofollow - Kindle Fire devices"" and I'm sitting behind a Windows desktop; and the announcement only provides links for : "" https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/iplayer-radio/id560458506?mt=m8" rel="nofollow - Apple App Store , https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.bbc.android.iplayerradio&hl=en_GB" rel="nofollow - Google Play and the http://www.amazon.co.uk/Media-Applications-Technologies-Ltd-iPlayer/dp/B00CH1NSXQ" rel="nofollow - Amazon Appstore ."" and the list of FAQs on http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/radio" rel="nofollow - http://iplayerhelp.external.bbc.co.uk/radio only runs to these :
Not a mention of Windows anywhere except for the disappearance of the app for Windows 'phone ------------- It's a difficult choice, would you rather have: A: A vegan son. B: An OnlyFans daughter |

Having chatted to 'Megan' on the BBC Chat facility I now know that the the iPlayer Radio App is for mobile devices only - despite the fact that the iPlayer TV App is available for desktop systems. Dammit!! Why does this world revolve around the mobile 'phone?? ------------- It's a difficult choice, would you rather have: A: A vegan son. B: An OnlyFans daughter |

After using the BBC's contact pages I got a reply from iPlayer Support apologising and telling me that they plan to add support for PC downloads in the future. And further contact from Audience Services asking me how helpful the reply was. I think that I'm going to have to choose my words carefully  In the meantime I'm recording the progs on my VirginMedia V6 Tivo box and will copy from there when it's convenient. ------------- It's a difficult choice, would you rather have: A: A vegan son.
