iPlayer is just a brand and a logo that the BBC seem to attach to anything they make or license that plays their content. So it's on the webpage you linked to (which, for me, does include folkscene).

At the BBC's end is the 'Audio Factory' which sends out live streams, 'listen again' streams and downloads, and podcasts (not the same thing).

You can receive all that over the internet with any program (app, browser, media player, internet radio, diy script) that meets the BBC's spec. I expect you can play it in Windows Media Player if you can find a stream URL - there are several, with different formats and quality.

It's a wonderful system, IMO.

Oh, and they brand TV with 'iPlayer' too.
