Hi @mookr
Re: your BBC question as asked in last years feedbavk thread:
I noticed you’re based in the USA so the BBC streams will be the 96kbit HLS/AAC ones from BBC World, rather than the BBC UK geolocation streams.
In the radio directory we show the best case rate as it’s the BBC’s servers that make the final decision of what the end listener gets. We can request HD but due to geolocation the BBC can downgrade accordingly,
In the case of the built in radio player in the app it indicates there is a small bug there. Primarily on now playing it’s showing the best case value, not the actual stream bit rate being delivered. Example from iOS app:
However lets sniff the low level comms 
It’s being delivered 96kbit stream.
I’ll raise a Jira to the apps team on the above subject.
Apologies on the false hope that you had gained 320kbit BBC streams in the USA, sadly not.
Regards
Steve
