Is it called Flash Get because it was designed for Bling laden Scousers?

Flashget? That's what we call someone who drives a Porche round our way.

No-one ever reads my posts anymore. I'm kind of used to it.

[Sunny So Cal]

No-one ever likes me. I'm kind of used to it.

Don't bleat on so.

[foot-loose]

I thought a funnier gag was that noone was replying to his last post.

You obviously didn't go for that though.

[Sunny So Cal]

You catch on quick.

[foot-loose]

Aye.

You don't.

[Sunny So Cal]

Piss off, skirt wearer. You're just bent you didn't change his quote first.

[foot-loose]

I smell of wee

Changing quotes isn't really my style of comedy though. If you need to invent what someone said to make a joke out of it... I don't quite see the point.

[Sunny So Cal]

I don't have a penis...I don't quite see the point.

You are, of course, correct.

[Andy B]

Andy B is, of course, NOT prince charming.

Why thank you Sunny. Very glad you finally see things my way.

[Sunny So Cal]

Andy B is, of course, NOT MY prince charming.

Why thank you Sunny. Very glad you finally see things my way.

I stand by that assertion.

Mr Ladbroke - or anyone else that knows.

What's the best thing for converting a ".ra" file to an mp3? I tried something I got off the net but it just produced an empty mp3. Anyone got any good suggestions?

[foot-loose]

Switch sound converter. I imagine you are planning on doing what I do - download the .ra file, convert to MP3, iPhone it.

[Andy B]

Sort of but also get rid of the songs which shouldn't take too long. I'll give it a go.

EDIT: Ooh tis a wonderful program and they also do a whole range of other useful stuff...excellent find sir. Suits you sir.

[foot-loose]

* getting rid of the songs. Just fast forward through them.

Andy, you could try a free program called SUPER. It should allow you to convert a .ra file to mp3.

The program is really sluggish to start but works for loads of different file types/formats.

EDIT: Got a link here: http://www.erightsoft.com/S6Kg1.html (The actual download link is right near the bottom of this webpage)

I use Easy CD-DA Extractor for audio file conversion as well as CD ripping and burning... it's the best I've ever seen, although I did pay a tenner for it... shows how much I like it, I rarely pay for software.

[Andy B]

Foots I've done it now, takes no time at all, I've already got the software so it's not difficult for me at all.

EDIT: Actually listening back to it, on occasion it does go a bit garbled but I think that's probably more to do with the converting than anything else.

Here, let me save you all some time.

A programme from http://po-ru.com/projects/iplayer-downloader/ can download the entire show from iPlayer as an mp3. Basically, scroll down to "Pre-built Windows GUI" and download that programme.

[Yudster]

Oooh, JonathanEx might have a willy to rival Console's!

I use NCH switch, use Mr Google I'm too lazy to link it! Must be catching Andy! Also thanks Jonathon Ex I'll give that software a try later to download from iPlayer.

[ladbroke]

Balls I just noticed that's what foots suggested! Think I need more coffee, or maybe just going back to bed would help.

[richardtomlinson]

Jonathan Ex's method intrigued me, so I had a go. Pretty simple - you get a handy 210-minute 128kbps mp3 file.

The only leg work you need to do is locate each show's unique eight-digit iPlayer programme code from somewhere (eg. "b00ff278" for today's show - 11/11/2008). I suggest visiting here and extracting the required code from the links (you know, right-click, copy shortcut).

No format conversions are needed, but as the mp3 is exactly 210-minutes long it does end on the stroke of 10am so if the show ends late or you want to hear the handover you'll need to download Jo's/Sarah's show as well.

[JonathanEx]

Yeah, it's a bit of a bugger with handovers... but it's the exact thing that'll play if you listen again on iPlayer in the flash interface.
