Trying to record BBC Listen Again

buglawton

Listen again, via iPlayer, is now much higher quality sound. I still record using a USB FM transmitter and a good 'ol cassette recorder in the music system for transferring to car. Have yet to hear of an equally convenient and high quality alternative method.

I'm using freecorder which sticks a toolbar on your browser & it's a matter of press9ing the record button.

The only oddity is that you have to start freecorder recording before you start the program

Probably similar to Audacity in function, only you have to ensure that other Windows sounds are silenced. Audacity has a settable timer so you can smart the recording then forget it till done. I will try Audacity with BBC iPlayer some time to see what the quality is like. Pity it has to be decoded from mp3 to audio then encoded again....

With the recent migration of Radio to BBC iPlayer this topic has been reawakened I suppose.

I'm just wondering if anyone has an update on the best downloader thing?

I've just got my first ipod :T and I'm trying to set it up. I really miss Jeremy Vine each day so got the ipod so I could download a podcast & listen the following day, however, Jeremy doesn't have a podcast And I was really disappointed to hear Chris Evans' podcast doesn't include most of the show - and it only comes out once a week :rolleyes:

Thanks in advance.

Any explicit solution to this problem, where BBC license fee payers have the temerity to want to listen to their favourite shows on - shock horror - "portable equipment!!" would be illegal and jumped upon by one or another MSE policy following killjoy! Having said that, do PM me if you find the answer!

I use BBC Radio Ripper. It is utterly brilliant, it downloads the Real Audio file and converts it to mp3 in a lot quicker than real (pun not intended) time.

Not free but there is a trial version which allows 30 minute downloads. Full version costs $30

HIGHLY recommended.
