Wait a minute.
At the moment, the iPlayer will ONLY allow you to stream on a Mac because the Download Manager is only compatible with XP/Vista. The BBC say they working on a Mac version.
Please don’t forget Mac users and create a version for us, too!!

I realize this isn’t the same thing, but I listen to BBC radio on my iphone all the time using flytunes. The sound quality is great.
