I forgot: I had to add the '-f mpeg' option+arg, which normally is not neccessary with youtube-dl, but I got this error, (probably because I specified some formats in the config): $ yt-dl 'https://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510289' [generic] podcast: Requesting header WARNING: Falling back on generic information extractor.

On NPR's site? I seem to be finding loads of >different URLs for it on there. I went to: https://www.npr.org/sections/money/ clicked on "subscribe to podcast" at the top under the section-logo which took me to https://www.npr.org/sections/money/ and because I'm "paranoid", I looked at the sourcecode of the big blue "Subscribe" button and found this: ==== <li class="subscribe" data-sharepop="" data-selector=".sharepop.subscribe"> <button data-metrics="{"category":"podcast directory","action":"toggle subscribe menu"}">subscribe<b> to podcast</b></button> </li> <div class="sharepop-four"> [..] <li> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.npr.org/templates/rss/podcast.php?id=510289"; data-metrics="...">RSS link</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> ==== Ok, I activated JS now and clicked on the button, which is a drop-down and the last is the above "RSS link" and clicking on it took me to the rss feed https://www.npr.org/rss/podcast.php?id=510289, same as opening the url from the source-code. Seamonkey (and Thunderbird?) shows a "subscribe" feed UI, but looking at the "source" of that, I get a pretty normal RSS file listing the info and URLs to the mp3 streams. Parsing the rss yourself would not be that hard either ;) But all the bookeeping of what you already have, handling renaming, etc...
