Thanks Bat. That worked for the Realaudio programme. It also reminded me of something similar I found sometime ago on the Ubuntu Forums.
mplayer -cache 2048 -bandwidth 9999999 "$rtsp" -vc null -vo null -ao pcm:fast:waveheader:file="$filename".wav This code gives a large wav file which can be converted to m4a using ffmpeg. To download the other programmes: get_iplayer --get --type=radio --pid=b00xxxx --mode=flashaacstd _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
