What can I say people, you are marvellous! Thank you very much. I've tested
get iplayer and it looks good and already have a question please. It looks I
always have to add the command --type=radio to search radio programs
otherwise I receive the no programs found message. Am I doing anything
wrong?

Cheers,
Amro

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.
