Updated: Scrobbling your Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio listening
Just a quick note to announce an update to the Mac OS X Dashboard version of my Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio / Last.fm widget. From your comments I realised both widgets aren't as stable as they might be and I've recently had a bit of time to (hopefully) rectify that. The Mac version now uses and for all ajax requests (which is infinitely more stable than my custom code :)
The same caveats apply as before (its still beta!), but hopefully this version will behave itself a little better. As always, all comments gratefully received.

But ...
Can we have a Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Radio 3 feed?
Is the source and the feed available too (is it just from backstage?) I don't use the OS X Dashboard nor Y! Gadgets so it would be nice to do it some other way. And why not seperate it from the streaming - it would be great to scrobble ones broadcast listening, perhaps from one's Olinda ;-)

Radio 1, 2, 6 Music and 1 Xtra have Last.fm profiles, fed by our playout system, which is where I get their now playing feeds from, e.g. . You can get lots more statistics on each through the Audioscrobbler API:
