I'm a newcomer to the list, and from what I've read so far this will be a very basic question for many of you, but I could use your help.

I'm trying to change the download location by entering the following,

get_iplayer --prefs-add --output "E:\Recordings\Get iPlayer"

but all downloads are going to C:\Recordings\Get iPlayer instead.

Can someone tell a relative newbie where he's going wrong with this?

That looks right, so it suggests that your preferences file is not being read, or that you have two in different locations.

As others have said you can check the options file in your profile. If that looks correct, then you have to find out why that profile is not being used when you download.

If you want us to be able to help you further, you'd probably need to give us an example of a download command-line that fails to use the correct directory, or are you using the web-interface, which I don't use and therefore know little about, but which may have a different method of configuring defaults?
