BBC AAC streams now available for internet radios
Discovered this by chance today when I saw that these streams are now listed in iTunes. This includes the Radio 3 'HD Sound' 320k AAC stream. You can try either of these two links - someone on another forum has it working on a Logik IR100:

The BBC has said before that it would be releasing these streams for internet radios; well it would appear that they have now done so. I'm surprised that they haven't produced a press release about this much-requested feature.
Ah yes, but my Uniti's playing 128k if I recall; must have a fiddle to see if i can get Andrew's instructions to add new ones...
Done. And the screen says it's...57kbps 
BBC radio streaming (whether via iTunes or iPlayer) has been AAC+ for a long time now. Well over a year IIRC.
That's true but they were only previously accessible via the iPlayer or with a Squeezebox running the iPlayer plug-in as they were 'wrapped' in Flash. Now these streams should (in theory) be accessible to any standalone internet radio device, as long as it can play AAC streams.
I came accross this some while back - http://www.digitalradiotech.co.uk/2009/02/bbc_test_aac+_streams_overtake...
