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?
