    Playlists

    What is wrong with Radio 3 or whoever is responsible for publishing the playlists? What is their excuse for not publishing a full list for Composer of the Week which is definitely a recorded programme? And whatever is the meaning of this ‘growing as you listen’ list? Are they playing some sort of a game with us? And I really do not see the point of all those duplications. It’s plain confusing.

    Could anyone kindly explain the rationale behind all this?

    It's pretty chaotic. What annoys me (which may be the same thing your 'duplication' comment, doversoul) is that if I want to see what's coming up on, say, TTN, I click on the programme title in the schedule - the complete list springs up for a very brief while, and then is hidden under "show more", with a list called "Music Played" which I think is restricted to what's already happened in the programme, listing timings but no performers.

    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

      Agree that this is infuriating. In order to find how who played what, I have to zip around in the iPlayer scroll bar, having missed it the first time round. Idiots. e.g. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01n11q4 - no information on performers.

        I think it says much in your favour, dovers, that you are so generous as to suggest that there actually is a "rationale" involved at all.

          It's the 'can't be bothered' and 'we've got no pride in R3 and how we present it' syndrome. This seems to sum up the RW and his regime. I'm getting sick to the back teeth of filling in their surveys and telling them about the shoddy state of the website. I'm totally convinced now that they just don't care.

            I've also noticed that for some inexplicable reason, the post evening concert works have now been removed from the iplayer 'play it again' facility and they are also never listed in any playlists. Last night there was a rather interesting Concerto for Fortepiano, Harpsichord & Orchestra by CPE Bach for example, but unless you were listening at the time you'd never know it was broadcast. Why hide these works? The pictures of the irrelevant presenters have also double in size, clearly they are now considered far more important than the composers and performers.
