Title: Yle Klassinen - listen again service
Post by: britishcomposer on Friday 21 January 2022, 17:28
Dear members,

I failed to record a quartet for brass instruments by Erkki Melartin which was broadcast yesterday by Yle Klassinen. However, I noticed little play buttons which suggested to me that Yle Klassinen provides a listen again service. Unfortunately I couldn't make it play. Would any kind member perhaps like to try and tell me if / how it works?

Here is the link to the program which contains the Melartin quartet:

Strange, when I open the link there is the green button 'Toista' and it plays the audio with no issues. Have you tried using a different browser perhaps? I could maybe try recording it somehow later.

Thank you, Tuomas!
I have tried different browsers and devices but it didn't start playing.
Perhaps the service is restricted so that only Finnish residents can use it?

Here in the UK I get the same thing: "Toista" starts the player at the bottom of the screen, which shows a track 1:00:02 long, but it won't play. It's probably a Finland-only restriction, as you suggest.

I can confirm this. My VPN was set to Norway, and it wouldn't play, but once  I had changed the VPN location to Finland, it played without a problem.
