Matt Robinson's Radio Downloader kaput, the end of an era

[freddyjollo]

This isnt a topic on minidisc per se, but I for one have been using Matt Robinson's Radio Downloader to download many BBC radio shows to listen to on minidisc. I used to do it the hard way - hook up a digital radio tuner a MD deck using a timer to switch and record them that way onto mini disc. Matt Robinson's Radio Downloader removed all that tedium by allowing subscriptions to BBC content then download them all as they came available, in drm free mp3 with no time limits. This software has been used by many people for years and its crippling has upset many people. The BBC it seems told Matt to remove the BBC plugin - the podcast plugin is still there, but its not really the same. Older versions wont work any more. The BBC intends next year or so introduce their own service - this though will have drm and time limits to hear the content just as with Iplayer.

The end of an era. Thanks Matt, for all the good memories you made possible.

& no thankyous to you the BBC for just making life harder
