Thanks - already use the BBC Sounds Plugin actually, didn't realise you
can play live stations through it? I've always used the BBC plugin for
that.

I need to update my info line too - I'm past 8.0.0 (can't actually
remember which one as I'm at work)

I'll have a fiddle tonight.

:-)



2 x SqueezeAMP / 13 x Classic / 4 x Boom / 2 x Touch / 6 x Radio (4
black, 1 red, 1 white) / 3 x Duet / 3 x Controller / W10 LMS 8.0.0
Technics Separates (inc Linear Tracking Turntable) that I've had for 30+
years (been faultless and used almost daily)
