BBC HLS Streams
The BBC’s http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/ radio stream server has now been closed. Seems Aunty Beeb wants folks to use its dreadful so-called iPlayer instead. However its HLS streams are still available. These are the BBC’s high quality 320kb/s audio streams, using Apple’s proprietary HLS (hypertext transfer protocol live streaming) format. Basically this chops the stream into tiny files, and stitches them together again once they have got through various firewalls etc. These are particularly appropriate for mobile devices.
