I much prefer listening to the BBC using the standalone RealPlayer, 
so I suggest you give that a try. Just save the tiny .ram file and 
then all you have to do is click on it (or a shortcut to it, of 
course) and it simply starts playing.

I have one or two "issues" with 9.51 too, mainly re the way it 
selects text. Keeping my accounts in order is nothing like as easy as 
it was last week...

Cheers,

Harry
