They take a while to load (with no onscreen message) so I initially thought it didn't work, but bit of patience showed that as long as the pause button is lit as orange, the feed will eventually play. Unfortunately, Classic fm in the UK does not seem to provide podcasts of its actual music shows, so I'm a bit stumped in that direction.
    Many thanks for your help.
    Actually the URL is fine and it should parse correctly and then give you the option to select whatever feed you want from the list. What you are doing now is kind of a work around where you actually give that actual audio feed instead of the rss feed. May I ask what program you use to play the .asx file; thru the web browser here it causes an error and it want to start the video player vs the audio player. Can you provide me the link that your are using to play the audio. I would like to see the actual RSS feed working on my own Feed reader which I am trying to make as compatible to various feed format as possible.

    Thanks.

    Here is one of the URLs that work:
    http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/...3chart/rss.xml
    This is the url that you get when you click on the RSS feed button on the page for the radio 3 chart show, so I guess I'm not using a .asx file.
    In the RRS feed reader that you sent me, when I click on the feed icon, the music player on the Patriot opens and tells me its playing an mp3 file, which it does, eventually. Incidentally, I tried some of the default feeds that came with the RSS reader. Some of them work and some of them don't (e.g. the ones from Reuters), some of the video feeds work too.

    I also just spotted that the original url i sent you is a .aspx not a .asx file. Is that stray p correct or is that what is causing the problem?

    DrGreg,

    The last URL you provided should work good but it won't for me because I am not in the UK. This feed causes a warning to appear saying that those feeds are only available to resident of the UK which I am not. I think that you are pretty much there anyway. Also beware that some of those feeds in Patriot RSS reader might be in the US and also only be available to resident of the US???? Don't know for sure but this might explain why some of them do not work.

    Thank for the extra info.

    Cheers !!!
