Any way to download or record a radio show?

Search radio downloader. (nerdoftheherd)

Never installed it myself, I was tempted a while ago when the bbc stopped doing one of my favourite daily podcasts.

Would post the link, but im not sure on the legitimacy of it.
 
Radio Downloader no longer works with BBC after the guy was 'asked' by the BBC to remove the option.

I now use get_iplayer to download BBC radio shows so I can stick them on my iPod. Nothing illegal, I just want to listen to the shows on my way to work.
That was also recently 'gimped' but a new version is now out that works fine.
 
Cheers folks I'll try get iPlayer. Is it easy enough to record in mp3

I think it records in MP3 as standard but sure you can specify a format if needed.

There is a windows installation package that you can install. It creates a Browser GUI front-end but not sure if this is still working as the BBC 'did something' which stopped it browsing the iPlayer feeds automatically.

I just use the command line version anyway. All you need is the program ID - simply browse to the web page where the program you want to listen is and take the last bit of the address - in your case it would be b04v8l7d. Open a command prompt and change to the get_iplayer directory then type something like:

get_iplayer --radio --id b04v8l7d

I'm at work so cannot remember the exact command line options. I'll post them when I get home tonight.

Otherwise, plenty of support on the get_iplayer forums on how to do it.
 
Here you are, after installing get_iplayer, I created a getiplayer.bat which contains the following:

Code:
c:
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\get_iplayer\
get_iplayer --type=radio --pid %1

Obviously the path will change depending on where you install it.

So I would simply enter from a command prompt:

Code:
getiplayer b04v8l7d

to download your program.

Hope it helps.
 
is there not a GUI version for windows ? makes life so easy , also. does the windows version have a pvr ?

There was and still is but the the BBC did *something* to stop if from automatically scanning the iPlayer feeds making it effectively useless.
They might have got round it now but I have got used to the command line so not bothered looking.
