Streaming Playlist Guide

Our streaming playlists give a very similar experience to listening on a memory stick in that they contain all the individual tracks and it is possible to skip forward and back between tracks in the same way. However there is limited availability – it is only possible to listen to the latest 6 editions or the latest 1 magazine at any given time.

They can be used with a variety of software such as Windows Media Player, VLC Media Player, iTunes and many others. Most computers come with Windows Media Player installed (or iTunes if an Apple product) and on an Android phone or tablet then VLC can be installed from the app store, on a iPhone or iPad iTunes is installed by default. There are many others available also.

Because different software prefers different formats these playlists are offered in several versions. If in doubt start with the first one and use the more specialist types only if you need to or the guide for your specific software recommends it. On most computers simply clicking one of these links will open the correct software automatically and start playing. If it doesn’t you may need to go to open your media program and then use it’s menu to open the stream – this maybe labelled as “Open Stream” or “Open Playlist”. Search your program’s help for “playlist” for more details.

Choose the link most suitable for your media player of choice to stream or download a playlist. For brevity all the links for the prior editions have been replaced with just the file extensions, but the links work in just the same way. If you need to put the link in manually then right click it and choose “Copy Link Location” or “Copy Link Address”.
