I've written a very hacky script to provide this functionality from the
BBC's realaudio feeds, which I recently presented at my local LUG.
http://aoakley.com/articles/2009-02-17-hacky-scripts.php
You can find the RealAudio stream URL by using the BBC's "Listen Live"
or "Listen Again" feature. If this defaults to a Flash player, you can
select "Dial-up modem" or "Low bandwidth" and then select RealPlayer.
From there, right-click and select "Play in Realplayer", then use the
menu to select Properties and copy the URL. Alternatively... view
source!

Subject: [ubuntu-uk] get_iPlayer
Hi all
I want to save items from BBC iPlayer (radio), for later
listening, especially since some of those items are too long to listen
to in one go.
I tried to download the deb package for the above application
from the Linuxcentre.net site where it is found. While it seems to have
downloaded successfully, it will not install. I get a message that the
file may be corrupt, or I do not have necessary permissions (I think I
do). I also tried to install without saving, with similar results.
There seems to be no way of contacting the site owner and I am
not able to find the package anywhere else.
Is this me, or have others found this, too? Is there a way
around it?
Are there alternative ways of getting the job done with
reasonably good quality results?
I stress it is the radio, not tv iPlayer which I am interested
in.
Many thanks in advance.
Using Hardy Heron LTS.
Best wishes
