Hi Amanda, run the app and then type exactly as follows:
get_iplayer --type=radio --get "name of program"
and that should download the program you want.
As you probably saw on this thread I only started using get iplayer
yesterday but this is what I gathered from the beginners' guide and it
worked. The guide is really good to get you started. A hint, you may need to
use your screen reader's virtual cursor to read the feedback get iplayer
gives you.
HTH,
Amro

Hello listers,
This is indeed a mighty blow; but we're not beaten, just frustrated. There's
always the option to plan in advance and record onto TV-Onics and transfer
then record to MP3: More time-consuming, but at least we can still grab
programmes. Who do we write to to obtain more definite information from the
BBC. Of course we can also contact In Touch to quizz the BEEB.
Regards,
Mike

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
