Exactly. I want something to replace radio downloader as I have absolutely no problem with the BBC iplayer to listen live or listen again.----- Original Message ----- From: "Amro Bilal" <info@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Thanks Terry for this. I've just installed tapin radio and will give it a
go. Though it seems this app is for listening to radio rather than
downloading radio progs? Another question please, does it only play live
radio or can it play programs from the BBC listen again player too?

TIA,
Amro

Hi tapin radio is so easy to use and set up, very screen reader friendly.
Just google it, and I'm sure you will like it.

Hi.
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 list are very helpful.

Hi Amro



That is really bad news.



I have heard of the following:

I have never used this program, but it looks as though I'm going to
have to learn in the future.





Best wishes

Now this is a very bad news, at least to me. 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?
