Not possible on a Mac

Posted by julian

I'm sure most here have heard the trouble the BBC got themselves into when the iPlayer didn't work on the Apple Mac platform. A problem they are solving in their own time.

But I bet not many have spotted the Classic FM issue. The independent national radio station dedicated to classical music has a web site with all the usual stuff, including being able to listen the live output. They also have this service which they've been pushing called "My Classic FM". What they describe as a personalised online radio player, sub divided into 7 sub strands and as you use it, it learns (so the blurb says) your musical preferences and adjusts the music it plays black to your tastes.

So I thought I would give it a try. So I click on the link on and ...... This service is not supported on the Mac platform.

Has anyone got the address for Ofcom?

The difference between classic fm and the BBC is that all TV viewers pay a licence fee (tax) towards the public broadcaster and therefore the broadcaster will have to provide content to all paying viewers, they would be open to criticism and/or prosecution if this meant the tv viewer has to pay £400 for windows vista, to view the content because its another licensed product.

Classic FM as I understand is not a public company and do not charge the public for their service.

It would be nice if we could tar and feather them for it though.
