Re: Its BBC Sounds or Nothing? In Touch November29
First, on the point of accessability of BBC Sounds.? It isn't a case of "telling manufacturers how to make their radios, etcetera, more setting a propper framework and technical hook-ins to enable

Re: Its BBC Sounds or Nothing? In Touch November29
I just don't see that. The BBC don't tell Sony, Roberts, or whoever how to manufacture their radios. Admittedly they are locking down Sounds with an account, but that shouldn't be

Re: Its BBC Sounds or Nothing? In Touch November29

Re: Its BBC Sounds or Nothing? In Touch November29
How much I disagree with you Steve. The question is that for many of us we want to be included and regarded. BBC Sounds, iPlayer and Britbox have bluntly appealed to those who have time and effort,

Re: Its BBC Sounds or Nothing? In Touch November29
I would agree with some of what is said, below, but I do take issue with some of it. Firstly, it may well be that if everything has to be accessed via the BBC Sounds Gateway then a one-time login
