Hi. @Peter, the link posted by someone earlier in this thread is the beginner's guide which links to the installers for all operating systems or instructions on using the built-in installer for those versions of Linux where a package exists. @Amro, I always use the --type=radio specification option. There may well be a way to force this to be the default, I've just never bothered. You may want to have a look at the docs https://github.com/dinkypumpkin/get_iplayer/wiki This should be possible through the options file. I hope that's of use.

Get_Iplayer works very well. It has a command line tool as well, I think, as a web-based function. I use the command line tool and am very happy with it.Its instructions are generally good, and the people on the get-Iplayer listare very helpful. http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer HTH.

I've just read the following message on the Radio Downloader site: "Following a request from the BBC, I have removed the Radio Downloader source and installers. They will return shortly minus the BBC Radio Provider plugin (e.g. the ability to download BBC Radio programmes). My apologies for the disappointment that this will cause but I hope that you will understand. I believe that the BBC is planning to offer <http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/our_work/services/radio/other/radio_drm .html> downloads of radio programmes from 2014." So the BBC couldn't leave things be until they actually have a working alternative in place. We know that this 2014 promise from the BBC is just meaningless. I am truly outraged. Not a second thought of the licence payer's needs. RD no longer works. Any suggestions for an alternative radio downloader please?
