On iPlayer you could choose between 3 different levels. On sounds, you just get what you're given. File sizes appear to be less than half that of the same download on the higher rate on iPlayer, so they must be lower res files.I use iPlayer radio a lot. However Sounds is ok too. Is there an SQ difference?

Is there BBC Sounds plugin for the Squeezebox?
I use the BBC iPlayer Radio plugin a lot - even had it running Flac during their brief trial.
...but the current 320kbps AAC sounds great on the Squeezebox - it would be really depressing to lose this.
It runs on iOS 11 or later.What a shame. I understand they need to attract young listeners and so are aggressively marketing Sounds (hence also blocking BBC radio on TuneIn), but is it still the case that you can't run Sounds on an iPhone or iPad that doesn't have a recent version of iOS running? If it is, I've got a problem as my devices are getting on and will be slowed down by using iOS 11, 12 or whatever. I'd imagine a lot of people are in this situation.
I have 10.3.... on my phone. 12 will slow my iPhone SE, so what should people in my situation do? It does seem absurd that they can't make sounds compatible with earlier iOS software. I can play CD quality Qobuz on my phone (and even my older iPad, which won't even accept anything later than iOS 10), so I'm sure the BBC could manage the same with Sounds.It runs on iOS 11 or later.
