Does anyone know if it is possible to Listen Again with Windows Media Player instead of RealPlayer? It gives you the choice on the Live feed...

No, as archiving shows is different to streaming them and it's cheaper for the BBC to offer archive stuff in real player only

You can download the codec called 'RealAlternative' which will allow you to play them in WMP if you don't have RealPlayer installed.

that worked thanks.

however it didnt resolve my problem :( The bandwidth at my work is pathetic and the listen again doesnt work very well. The live Windows Media Player feed seems to work ok, but i guess its the .ra file format thats the problem or something like that.
