I so agree with Miriam Atkinson re her comments on Vista. Why do the idiots at Microsoft keep changing the basics. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!!! It takes ages to keep on re-learning the wheel and it's not necessary, why not just add to what you already have instead of changing the whole system every couple of years. It doesn't make most people want to buy new systems just because they have added a few new gismos because it's too time consuming to learn a whole new process and finding the stuff you normally need, not to mention expensive. In these straightened times Microsoft should be looking to keeping a loyal customer base in endeavouring to save their customers money, not trying always to achieve the American dream of 15% year on year growth. Listen up Microsoft/Bill Gates!!!

Deprecated  Richard Leeming - Oct 20, 2009 - Report this comment

Hello, This version of the iPlayer widget has been deprecated. Unfortunately we're unable to remove it from iGoogle as the developer who added it has left the BBC and we're unable to contact him. I thought we'd made it clear it was superceded but that appears not to be the case. I apologise for this. An updated version of this widget can be found at bbc.co.uk/widgets Thank you.

Couldn't get this to play the Radio Stations. Tried reinstall but no joy. The other BBC player works fine.

i player  miriam atkinson - May 29, 2009 - Report this comment

not only is the new one awful,but so is vista.I`ve gone back to using my Sony XP better,but quicker,and reliable.The best way is to have a feed on the i google,for BBC /listen again.On videos,it like watching the old dial up buffering,until i used to just give up.XP is fine,who needs a sidebar?

It works fine for me in Firefox 3.0.8. I got it from the BBC site (http://www.bbc.co.uk/widgets/) which may make a difference.

I agree with others comments - there is no facility to load this new gadget. What was wrong with the old one?

Where is it? If there is a replacement how does one download it? The version that's now unavailable was terrific.

Good and it can work with firefox3.0.7   - J B Genshaw - Mar 14, 2009 - Report this comment

I find it useful. As other users have found it can be a problem with firefox, and RealPlayer but in my case it merely requires temporarily disabling the RealPlayer add-ons if I have sound problems on the BBC radio live feeds. I have mentioned this on the BBC iplayer message board,no doubt someone has a better solution.

Works VERY well - service is down atm   - dan_willmot@msn.com - Feb 15, 2009 - Report this comment

This gadget is great if you like to listen to the radio on your computer, you simply click and the radio you want comes on. Saves loads of time! It's my Fave Gadget

very poor, you may as well not even bother and just save a bookmark to the iplayer. or try another gadget like this one, that actually works as a radio.. http://www.google.co.uk/ig/directory?q=bbc+radio&root=%2Fig&dpos=top&start=28&url=hosting.gmodules.com/ig/gadgets/file/103744198556102212197/bbcradiogadget.xml#

No stars as it doesn't work...!  Anonymous - Jul 26, 2008 - Report this comment

Doesn't work for me, nothing happens at all. I've got IE6 on XP. What a shame! Have moved over to LastFM instead. Also, it took ages to find in the search, it doesn't come up if type in 'BBC radio'...

Finally..a tentative thumbs up.  Bill Anderson - Jul 13, 2008 - Report this comment

For no apparent reason (meaning that I took no intentional action nor noticed a change in related services) this gadget has been working without problem for a whole week now. That may be because the gadget no longer calls the iPlayer, but something called the iPlayer Radio Console. OK.

gadget works...iPlayer still doesn't like Firefox   - Bill Anderson - Jun 8, 2008 - Report this comment

Apparently there are compatibility between the BBC iPlayer and Firefox. They announced that those issues had been resolved, but the iPlayer Radio only has marginal functionality. It is true that the gadget will call iPlayer and sound comes out corresponding to the channel you selected. (click the Radio1 button, the iPlayer launches and Radio1 streams out. From that aspect, the gadget is functional. You cannot (with Firefox)change stations in the iPlayer. Selecting a different station and then Go results in returning to the same station you started at. So: the gadget seems to function in Firefox. It's just that the program it calls is buggy. Come on Beeb, the old Radio Player worked just fine, as did the versions before the last one. Why don't I "just use Windows Explorer"? I go between three computers constantly, three different operating systems and Firefox runs on all of them. Windows Explorer doesn't. Bottom line: if you use Windows Explorer, use the gadget - it works well.

OK, sometimes I get sound now   - Bill Anderson - Jun 4, 2008 - Report this comment

Just not every time. The gadget brings up a different version of the iPlayer than if you launch iPlayer from other locations. I will try again this evening. R1,3,5 and 7 all produced a live stream within the last 5 minutes when I tried them. Still no way to get to local stations,though. BUT! this gadget is working more now. I think I have one more report left in me.
