Widgets are great little programs which can make your computer much more fun to use. When I help people who are moving from dial-up to Broadband, I love to show them the new world of streaming audio and video which has opened up for them. In the UK some of the best content comes from the BBC and we can listen to BBC radio while we work. Accessing the stations can be a bit of a pain though......unless you have a widget!
For this to work you will need real player and windows media player already installed because the widget uses both of those programs. Unless you have already done so, you also need to install the Yahoo widget engine which you can download here http://widgets.yahoo.com
Then you can get BBC Radio Player Plus here http://tinyurl.com/2vlrez
Now you have easy access to a whole new audio world.
If you are new to widgets it is well worth taking time to explore what else is available.
[NB The BBC widget only works in the UK but there are many others suitable for readers in other countries]
