VoiceOver users: when selecting stations use VoiceOver keys with the arrows to select the station from the menu.
Troubleshooting:
Try and play directly from the BBC website. If it works there then it will almost certainly work in Dashboard. If not the problem has historically been issues with RealPlayer - try uninstalling and reinstalling RealPlayer using the version from the BBC website. Reboot after the reinstall to restart Dashboard.
Let me know any other problems.

Hi, your demos on http://www.keilly.com/Stuff/Stuff.html show how to do some really cool stuff with Swing. Is that software free to be reused?
Hi John, that stuff is intended as a guide on how to do some neat things. It's not fully tested, but it should be pretty robust. Feel free to reuse, adapt, improve, etc.
Thanks a lot! I noticed you used the OracleLookAndFeel which is in the jewt4.jar. What are the origins of that JAR? I did some googling but didn't find much information on it.
JEWT is a small component library used in Oracle's JDeveloper. I've worked there for a while and so use it out of familiarity (and because Metal looks terrible these days). The OracleLookAndFeel is actually an extension of the excellent JGoodies Looks Plastic LAF.
This is greaat
