Why are some programmes not available to download on the app?

Mobile/Tablet app | Update

You might find some programmes on the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds app that only have options to Bookmark or Subscribe, with no option to Download.

Although some programmes won't be available to download for rights reasons, we're aware that some older programmes are available to download from the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds website but not from the app, for example, In Our Time, Desert Island Discs, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Front and From Our Own Correspondent, among others. 

We are continuing to make more of these episodes available to download. In the meantime, the episodes can still be streamed on the app, or downloaded from the website.
