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

Subject: [access-uk] Radio Downloader bad news and request for alternatives

 

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?

 

Amro
