You can. On the RadioRobins website click on the right hand tab. It's shaped like a little lightening bolt. That works perfectly.

 In answer to your question Hale Alty, I don't know. Although from my usage and the number of part games I've listened to I don't think it's all that much.

Streaming BBC I player radio :-

30 minutes of radio may consume up to 30MB of data.

60 minutes of Radio may consume up to 60MB of data

So 90 MB roughly for an hour an half of I player ?

Been informed that a more accurate answer is a full Radio robins match will use 150MB of data.

FP...the icon is Winamp & it works for me as well.

I listened for the first time via serve stream on android, there was a delay of about 30seconds, is that usual ?

No criticism implied, I just wanted to experience some of the legendary commentary while actually at the game, only to turn around to see Brian had defected to another station ;-)

There's a delay even when listening via PC. Still neither here nor there really.

I think if you join the game slightly late you get the delay, but if you have it running before the commentary starts then it works perfectly. As mentioned though when you're not at the game 30 seconds is neither here not there. :)

90 minute emergency loan to Live Sports FM, as one of their commentators was snowed in in West Yorkshire. ;D ;D

I've downloaded the VLC app which should let me use Windows Media Player but nothing is happening.
