Recommend a good radio player for browser

gnvqsos

I have a radio player in my Zone Alarm Toolbar-its probably why I am sticking with this toolbar which downloaded by default with the firewall software.I feel it is rather small and linking to BBC stations is tedious.It will playR4 and 6Music but not Radios 2 and 3.Please recommend a good player -Winamp seems to complex for me.Can i create a shortcut to iplayer?All ideas welcome

Go to the iplayer, then drag the address from the URL bar and drop it on the desktop.

If you set up a free account with http://www.reciva.com/ you can get just about any radio station in the world.

I am a bit thick-when I copy address from url I close browser window to reveal desktop screen but I get no paste option.Can I be doing this wrong-please advise!
Thanks

Do you download the radio software from Reciva or do you use this in conjunction with an existing player?It looks like a gret option for a radio buff like myself.At last I can get live commentary on the camel racing in Cairo!

Go to the iplayer, then click on the address in the URL bar, whilst holding the button down move the cursor across to the desktop then release it.
