mischmich try kmplayer. it's a bit fiddly getting the hang of it but it's my go to app for bbc streams. I find it quicker to get a stream up and running.
Oh and if you want to 'listen again' on iplayer, try RadioTimeToGo. You can search for the stream/podcast and when you click play it sends the link for the stream into kmplayer and starts playing.

This is going way off topic, but thanks. I'm afraid most of this above means nothing to me. I tried going to the website on the laptop, but could not get anything to play. It identified half-a-dozen windows-based media players that weren't on my laptop, and of those that were (including kmplayer, mplayer, gnome media player, banshee, etc., it only picked up VLC player. All I want to do is to load the BBC iPlayer web-page in Firefox on the n900, and select a radio broadcast from earlier in the week, and play it. I can do that on my laptop, using Chrome, but am stumped why this should be a problem on the n900 using Firefox.
I tried the live stream from the website on the n900, and it doesn't list any compatible media player, suggesting installing VLC. If I try loading the live stream in kmplayer, it says it does not have the necessary codec to play the stream. On the laptop, I can't get the live stream to play in VLC or kmplayer. However, the 4 live links provided above by Jedi, they do work OK on both. It looks like the RadioTime site is geared up primarily for windows.

(...) ...but the recent firefox mobile V4 has - on my device anyway - got such cripplingly bad performance that I have stopped using it entirely as it's effectively useless & flash would kill it .
I agree wholeheartedly. Some people are scornful about flash or gnash - yet for some of us it is something that would be nice to have. I like to listen to BBC radio and watch BBC news broadcasts. I can do that on my PC if it is connected - but not on my n900. I like to listen to Bob Harris on BBC iPlayer (as that is the only way to hear it the other side of the world). I cannot listen to it using the new Firefox 4 update, because it reckons I need Flash to do so. I don't understand why, as it is a radio broadcast - and when I use the stock n900 browser, it does play without this error (albeit poorly - the stream breaks up intermittently). I also get links to youtube videos on current affairs, and certain activism-related videos I am interested in. If I have access to my PC or laptop, I can watch them there - but it would be nice to be able to watch them on my n900 when I don't have that access, or it is more convenient to use the n900. I am not altogether clear why that requirement is regarded with such disdain. So, do keep trying - if nothing else you will end up more knowledgeable in the process.
