Firmware update details:
When the MusicPal was first released, it did not play BBC stations. This has now been overcome by a firmware update which can also be downloaded directly to the MusicPal from within the settings menu. This new firmware enables WMA playback on the MusicPal.
 
The BBC channels will not automatically be offered in the Internet Radio menu and need to be added manually to the favourites menu on the MusicPal. This is a case of copying the relevant radio station URL to the favourites section in the web interface of the MusicPal and clicking "apply", the new radio station will then appear in the favourites menu of the MusicPal.
