Have just registered. I write with some background for non UK contributers.
Today, Tuesday, 14th December, 2010, UK BBC Radio 3 has added 320 kbps flash stream after an unannounced trial in the summer. It sounds superb. It may only be available in UK - I do not know.
The web address is

Right clicking on the page gives info:
BBC media player v.2.24.18269.21576

I am listening via a rather clumsy setup. Ethernet to my Toshiba laptop, HDMI to HDtv: wired (not optical) spdif output to standard d/a decoder/pre-amp and eventual analogue stereo output.
How can I record it? It is accessed from BBC Radio 3 website and is audio only using flash and BBC media player.
My question is - how can I record this? For those not in UK - the BBC have closed almost all discussion forums and message boards to save precious funding which is by a licence system which is mandatory to anyone in the UK who can view BBC TV by any route - there are no adverts. This is why there have been rumours of international distribution of BBC tv (including HDTV) funded by commercial interests. We are very fortunate to have several hundreds of satellite channels including a very large number of HDTV channels but, the good material is often only available to subscribers - but all BBC content is free, including all programmes over the preceding 7 days (tv and radio) which are available by a special webpage (BBC iPlayer) but most programmes are removed and unplayable 7 days after original transmission or sometimes 7 days after accessing the programme. The audio on demand will NOT be available for BBC Radio 3 HD.
If anyone can help, I would be grateful. Live concerts are the staple diet of Radio 3. Recordings of Radio 3 are easy and legal as it is broadcast on FM in the UK (good, but local transmitter has too much noise,) DAB 192 kbps (not good enough) and as real audio and /or wma stream in addition to this new service, which sounds better to my ears than any of the other methods. I believe the tests were universally appreciated and audibly superior, when transmitted during the last week of the famous "BBC Proms" concerts, the "party atmosphere" of the "Last Night of the Proms" is shown on tv and like all of the huge number of concerts, also on line in many countries.
