I also found that the streams referenced in the program did not function, so -
I have amended the .kon file so that it reads in an included file with all the streams' paramenters, with the home pages and logos tightly linked (if you selectd a station the correct logo and associated home page are selected automatically).

I have also changed the reload of the widget that happened every time you changed station. My version now playes the new station as soon as selected (saved) in preferences.

I wonder if the author would like a copy of the amended widget so the users out there can benefit.

that fix works a treat, many thanks.

Now I just have to get my act together and change all the links.

For those guys commenting below - nothing techie involved, honest, or I wouldn't be able to do it!

1. Google "WinRar" and download the program - it's useful to have anyway.
2. Run WinRar and open the widget file.
3. Browse for 'BBC_Radio.kon', Copy and Paste to the desktop - keep WinRar open
4. Run notebook and open 'BBC_Radio.kon'
5. Go to the webpage '…;http://dave.org.uk/streams/'
6. In notepad find the links for each radio station - they are in a big bunch and very obvious
7. Copy and paste the new links from the website on top of the old links in notepad.
8. Save notepad file and close
9. Copy 'BBC_Radio.kon' and Paste back into the WinRar overwriting the original file.
10. Close everything and open widget - should work now. More

I saw this message
"if you open the widget file in WinRar you'll find a file inside it called BBC_Radio.kon. Copy that file to your desktop. You can then open the copy with notepad and change any broken links"

I assume this will solve the problem in the messages below

Now, can someone translate this into idiot speak? :-)

I just downloaded this widget last night but it doesnt seem to work. Is there anything I should do to get it started?
