Via Rick O’Shea, RTE have launched their new digital radio stations online. At the moment, they’re only available in RealPlayer format – though there are links to the non-existent Windows Media streams.
The RTE “How to Listen” page also contains links to the normal broadcast radio stations and podcasts.
I’ve played around with it for a while, and although the quality isn’t bad, the connection keeps dropping with server errors – obviously there’s still a few kinks to be ironed out.
It’s a step in the right direction, but not a huge one. I’ll be much happier when I see RTE implement something along the lines of the BBC iPlayer.
