How to listen to BBC radio on the Power PC

It seems that the latest upgrade to BBC iPlayer requires a version of Flash Player that doesn't play on Power PC Macs. What a spon. The Power PC still works fine and isn't that old.
Does anyone know a workround to listen to BBC radio?

Where are you playing from?
iTunes Radio? or a website?
From websites. The problem doesn't seem to happen when I use iTunes but it doesn't seem that every station's internet can be opened through iTunes. Or is there a way in fact to do that?

  • Cannot listen to BBC radio on my Macbook.

    I'm a new migrant from Windows. I always used to be able to listen to BBC Radio. Not anymore. Can anyone help? My OS is Tiger - current version. I have a current version of Real Player which has been 'automatically' configured to work (?).
    Also, does anyone know how to save a picture from a web page. Seems so simple, yet I can't find anywhere that explains how to do this. (No right click with a Mac , of course).

    PeterUK, Welcome to the discussion area!
    I'm not sure why you posted in this area. This area if for discussing the AirPort Express (AX) and wireless networking.
    You should post your question in the OS X or MacBook discussion area.

  • Listening to BBC Radio

    Is there anyway of listening to BBC radio through itunes?
    I have tried to use BBC feeds through realplayer but i can't get it to work, it just keeps timing out, even with the newest real 10 and searching the help pages.
    Wondered if I could avoid other software and use itunes.
    IMAC G5 20   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Thanks for that, I have loaded Steam, it seems to work but I can't get any music, all I get is the error.
    RealPlayer: Connection to server has timed out.
    You may be experiencing network problems.

    This is the same when I try to listen direct from the BBC. Any ideas what is wrong? Could be my settings??

  • How do I use GarageBand as a amp/speaker to listen to my Electronic Drum set? I have a MIDI-USB cord already but I can't figure out how to listen to my set through the software using my computer speakers?

    If you want to listen to the sounds of your drum set, you should use an audio cable and connect it to the computer's line-in, then create a real instrument track.
    If you use a Midi/USB interface, you'll have to create a software instrument track and select one of GB's drumsets as the instrument. Hopefully your drumset's midi notes are mapped to the right sounds in GB.

  • How to listen to BBC internet radio

    hi there
    I'm looking for an application to listen to the above internet radio which follows the critera below:
    Not the BBC iplayer
    Not a dashboard widget (even in dev mode)
    I'm looking for a small footprint simple standalone application that (much like the widget by Phantom Gorilla) would let me flick between BBC radio stations
    Any google search results are obviously pages and pages pointing to the iplayer, so i was wondering if anyone had come accross such a tool
    cheers
    Jack

    Star Player might fir the bill:

  • How to listen to itunes radio at work?

    Hi, can someone please help?!
    I love listening to itunes radio but when I am at work for some reason it does not work.
    I tried to research the subject but most of the posts are specific to a different problem or just mention something about proxies, but don't give detailed instructions.
    I figure the problem is proxies since I am connected a network server and I have all the information and passwords needed, but I do not know how to fix this or where to fix this on my computer. The proxies that i have checked right now are the "web proxy" and "secure web proxy". i tried to turn both off and that didn't really seem to work either.
    Please let me know what to do, and if that is not the problem please tell me what the problem is and how to fix it.
    Thank You

    Before you spend a lot of time spinning your wheels on this issue, I'd suggest you first talk to your company's IT department and ask if they're blocking access to streaming music sites. Many organizations do to prevent music streaming from hogging all their bandwidth.
    If they tell you they're not blocking or throttling access, post back and we'll go from there.
    Regards.

  • I want to listen to BBC radio on my macbook

    get this message when I try to listen;
    The page “BBC iPlayer - Radio” has content of MIME type “application/x-mplayer2”. Because you don’t have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can’t be displayed.
    I don´t understand what that means.....can anybody translate for me? I don´t know what MIME is or a plug-in.
    Thanks

    Plug-ins let your browser handle special kinds of content such as streaming video and audio. MIME types are a geeky shorthand for various types of content -- and I agree that it's frustrating when your computer refers to acronyms and other technical jargon so casually!
    The good news is I was able to get the BBC Radio iPlayer to work fine, so it's not a Mac-compatibility issue. You just need the proper plug-ins. You'll want both the free Flip4Mac (Windows Media) plug-in and the free Real Player plug-in.

  • Listening to BBC radio stream

    Hi
    I live in Bangkok and like to listen to the BBC radio 5 web stream while driving around town.
    Currently I'm using WunderRadio but I was wondering if anyone would recommend different radio streaming software?
    Thanks
    Mick

    Hi BkkMick,
    My app (yes, I'm the developer, and I will get paid if you buy my app) ooTunes Radio has many of the BBC streams. However, only those that are available in windows media audio (WMA format) will work in the apps that support wma format. ooTunes Radio (my app), Wunder, pocket tunes and FStream (a free app) all support wma audio streams. I have the BBC 5 live and BBC 5 sports xtra streams already in the built in database and they work great. The full list of stations compatible with my app is here: http://ootunes.com/s/ though there are a few BBC streams there that only work in the UK (they are labeled that way). Good Luck!

  • My iPad does not support flash player. What can I do to listen to Finnish radio on the iPad?

    Help! How can I listen to my beloved Finnish radio on this new fangled iPad? To listen to it I require flash player. Any ideas?

    For general internet radio listening I recommend TuneIn Radio, either the free or paid Pro version.
    If by Finnish radio you mean Yle they have an app available, they even direct you to it when you first surf to their website.

  • How can i restart my phone if the power button is not working?

    My power button is not working and my phone freezes every now and them. I read I should restart it. Is there another way to restart it without using the power button?
    Also, I use the on-screen assistance icon but it does not have a power off option.

    That's correct.  Because how would you turn it back on again if the screen was off and your power button was on the screen?
    Yo need to fix the button, or try letting the iPhone die out completely, then connect it to power and after it's charged for a while, see what happens when you press the Home button.

  • HT3131 how can i run in clamshell without the power adapter plugged in?

    just what the question states..I dont want to have to always connect the power adapter. thanks

    thanks this works well with the power adapter pluged into the mac, but I am looking for this exact setup without the need for the power to be supplied to the mac.
    in otherwords, run it off the battery only.
    I want to think that there is either a preferences setting, or function to be able to do this.
    currently it appears that the mac will only run in the configuration with external perpherials with the power supply.
