This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />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.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I say this as I'm listening to the wee hours of BBC Manchester at 9:00 p.m. Chicago. Easy to use, lots of BBC choices, doesn't seem to hit performance too much. I love it. I wish I'd known about it sooner!
