Just discovered the joy of podcasts: that allow me to catch up on current affairs while driving / cutting the $%^&& grass etc Radio 4 with mplayer I have found a process that works. In short - go to the bbc iplayer site and find your program - go http://www.iplayerconverter.co.uk/convert.aspx and enter the PID - Take the resulting link and add it to the following (all on one line) mplayer -cache 2048 -bandwidth 9999999 "rtsp://...........................................ra" -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:fast:waveheader:file=filename.wav - Convert to ogg eg oggenc -q1 filename.wav In reading around, VLC should automate the whole process: directly read the radio show (this it does) and then convert the stream directly to ogg or mp3 or whatever (I tried with mplayer but could not get that to work; hence this mplayer command line script that I found on the ubuntu forums) For some reason however I cannot get VLC to save the stream to my hard-drive. VLC does play the stream without any problem. Can anyone who has used VLC provide any tips? (What is irritating is that all the gui looks very simple to understand, I just cannot get it to work. The manual is also very explicit but ....)
