Widget at http://widgets.yahoo.com/gallery/view.php?widget=38051 has volume and mute for widget only, maybe you look to see how it is made and give ideas.

So for the next build you will need-
Most important, do not have volume and mute do system changes just widget ones.
An easy way to change the radio feed address so you not have to go into the .kon file and change by hand.
Four favourite buttons down the side, like on my bedside radio, that you set to station of choice to stop having to go to pull down menu.
Way to set auto on when pc is switched on if wanted.
Make it sizable, to allow small scale size.
Take away big ugly goto homepage button an…d make small and pretty, it gives room for favourite buttons too.
Maybe button to load station web cam in browser, not big need though.
Make outer case come in more jolly colours.

Well you did ask for suggestions ;) More

Hey Tony H, this link should work for BBC 4.
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4_dsat_g2.ra

Also, any links that die can easily be found at the bbc website. Say radio 1 goes down. Go to radio 1's homepage, click listen live, then right click save as the link that says 'play in stand alone real player' (it will be a .ram file). One you save that, open the .ram file with notepad and in it you will find the .ra link...which is what you will need to put into the widget for it to play.

Hope that helps!

BBC 4 just stopped working. I think the location for the feed may have changed. I edited the file to update BBC 1 and BBC London as in the comment below -- does anyone have a new feed location for BBC 4?

The design of the other radio widgets, especially the slimline is very good. Possibly make it more like those?

Thanks
