BBC Radio Widget ReviewUsed for a long time on PPC, now on Intel - TROUBLE! - Version: 3.1, 7/1/2008 01:26PM PST

chevyorange--2008
Used with my PPC Dual G5 PowerMac for a few years with nary a hiccup.

I've been trying to cajole my new MacBook Pro into letting the widget to no avail. It will play as long as the dashboard is open - but after I start playing it and then try to go do some work, it pauses.

Maybe this is how it is supposed to work, but I don't believe so.

I have reinstalled both the widget and Real 11.0. I have restarted.

No go!

Help?

I love this widget and love the BBC World Service.

Used to be a great app but it doesn't really work anymore, keeps cutting out. Easier to just use the BBC site.
