[Avoiding the debate about mp3 sharing]
> I tried searching Amazon, but unforunately they don't seem to be available on CD
They are available on audio cassette and CD, but they can be difficult to get hold of. I have them on CD - details are below.
The primary phase (3 CDs, fit the first -> sixth): ISBN 0 563 38974 5, ZBBC 1499 CD
The secondary phase (3 CDs, 7->12): ISBN 0 563 38979 6, ZBBC 1500 CD
I'm guessing you can order them from places like the BBC shop, or your local HMV/Virgin/Tower Records/wherever, if not online. I got mine in an HMV in London about this time last year.
Hope this helps.
I think for Realplayer, it's the server end you have to pay for, to actually/do/ the streaming etc. But ICVWBW. I'm all for getting some sort of cross-platform standard, and it strikes me that that's the way it should be - at least for the moment - the ISPs or whoever who want to stream the media and therefore attract people to their sites/services should/could pay for that, but to all users of the net some form of player should/could be free.
but this will probably just encourage schools to grow their own Linux gurus.
Knowing the way things work, the kids will know infinitely more about the system and its setup than the teachers anyway, no matter what it's running - so are they sending the teachers on a "what the heck is Linux" course?!

It's better than Nerdo or Spoddo...
