    Ripping Audio from BBC iPlayer Flash Stream

    Hello all,

    So I am looking at ripping the audio from a very old episode of 'In Our Time'. The episode is so old that it predates the podcast (which of course, would solve all my problems).

    I would like to use something like icecream or VLC to rip the audio from the 'Listen Now' link on this page. Unfortunately I am having a hard time finding the actual URL. The player itself is a Flash widget, so it is something more complicated than looking for OGG, mp3 or RAM file extensions in the page source.

    Any ideas how i might track it down? Any general tips?

    If there are some nifty command flags I should add when invoking icecream on the command line, I am all ears.

    Hi
    Look in Synaptic Package Manager.
    Install the program named 'get-iplayer'.

    To download the episode use this command:-
    Code:
    get-iplayer --get --type=radio --pid=p004y23x
