BBC said it'll pull radio streams from TuneIn to slurp more of your data but nobody noticed till Amazon put its foot in it

Re: No.

Use a player that can deal with an http transport stream, say VLC, and feed it directly from BBC's CDN.

Or if you're on any sort of Unix terminal, something like the following works:

wget -O- "http://bbcmedia.ic.llnwd.net/stream/bbcmedia_6music_mf_p" | madplay

If you like 6 Music, FIP https://www.fip.fr plays an arguably better selection with almost no breaks at all.
