Hi,

I listen to iPlayer religously during work. And today I came across some real nice acoustic type rap on one of the radio shows.

To be specific the show is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00cpl05/ starts about 1 hour 6 mins, specifically the song that starts at 1 hour 12 mins.

Is it possible for me to download this stream so i can have it on my ipod to/from work?

Thanks

Isn't this copyright infringement?

Kinda borderline, if i listen to it all day at work, why cant i listen to it to/from work. If I was using it commercial, then that would be a big no no

Same as recording of the telly!

You've never recorded a song from the radio onto a cassette tape or an mp3 player?

Of course I have, everyone has. Doesn't mean it isn't illegal though, does it? I only posted that comment because it's potentially inviting someone to use the forum to assist the OP break the law. :)

And going to the shop to buy cassetes is like asking the shop owner help you break the law. :p

The law is screwed up so bad no one cares anymore. Kinda like organised religion.

Ahh, but blank media is multi-purpose. Recording iPlayer surely can't be allowed. Still, as others have said, it's easy to do with Audacity and many other applications. :)

FlashGet will download BBC radio streams to a .RA file (which you could then convert to MP3).

You need to find the .RAM link in the HTML source, which I think for the above show is:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/playlists/mz/kp/c0/0b/0400_bbc_radio_one.ram

Tell FlashGet to download that.

Sounds "proper bandit" that does.

Isn't it Mac only, too?

Oh, there must be some Windows equivalent then. I use it to record The Jeremy Vine Show and it is a one click record option that hijacks the web browser audio stream. I then trim it with Audacity and Bob is your uncle.

Or you could get a Mac? :p:D:cool:
