Tony, I am not sure where you live. As I mentioned I live in South Korea. Here is a link I use to find the wma streams for downloading:

http://beebotron.org/public3/public_wwo3/wwo3_index.html?reload

Actually I often do download radio 3 shows but I find them a little "quieter" then radio 4. Not sure what that is about. However, I often download Composer of the week, The Early Music show and some of the jazz show.

Some of the podcasts are unavailable however, I usually download the listen again streams which are available for 7 days after broadcast. My Now Show copies have been pretty clear so as mentioned you may want to think about a connection or hardware problem.

I hope that this info helps anyone.

Love, David

If they want to make a digital copy of what they're listening to then they can record it using Audacity or by connecting a digital recorder to the headphone socket of their computer/internet device.
