  Some older DAB/DAB+ radios do not re-scan automatically so I suggest you go into settings and select re-scan (or whatever it is called on your radio).

  It gives you shuffle play from a much larger selection of music of the given genre than you can ever hope for from your own music library. And shuffle play that is much more random without the repeats.

  The effort and resources would be better spent turning BBC Sounds into a properly usable and functional media player for its audio offerings rather than the half-arsed effort it is at the moment.

  If you are renaming files in bulk ReNamer is definitely the way to go. You can keep tweaking the rules until you get what you want before committing.

  I spent some time when first using get_iplayer working out how to set up the default filename format I wanted - PFX=YYYYMMDD=Episode=Name which I could then easily manipulate with the ReNamer utility. I still struggle each time I may want to tweak that.

  I do a search then mark all relevant results to record as one. Note that it only shows programmes broadcast within the last 30 days so you need to keep on top of it and have a weekly housekeeping session to record what you want. I use it to record radio programmes to listen to on my phone...

  Why on earth do they time-lock some programmes / podcasts as BBC Sounds exclusives? No rhyme or reason that stands up to any scrutiny.

  And / or if they block casting from iPlayer on your mobile / tablet to the TV. Hopefully this is just a case of reducing the support effort needed for a feature that is relatively little used.

  The World Clock tab on the default clock app on my Samsung phone shows seconds. Alternatively tapping on the time on the lock screen changes it to show seconds as well.
