Download iplayer radio programs as mp3

AirCooledHeaven

Ok, this is a shameless plug for a piece of freeware that downloads BBC iplayer content (radio) and saves it as an mp3 file. I just discovered it and while I sit here compiling a CD of my favourite radio progs for my next long car journey I thought I'd share it.

Someone mentioned this the other day and I tried it - I think it's great. Not only do you have the ability to convert iplayer to mp3, but it works with rss feeds too so I can point it at all my other podcasts.

The only think I haven't been able to work out is where the settings are stored so I can back them up.

If you are using win xp I think you'll find them in this folder:

c:\documents and settings\[user]\application data\https://www.nerdoftheherd.com\radio downloader\
