For example, when you click on the 'Listen again to this show' for Sounds of the sixties it starts playing. How do I find what is the link to make a recording from?

First, you'll need
Orbit Downloader. You'll need to view the source code of the little frame that the media player is in on the left, & look for the 3rd occurance of ".rpm" [without the quotes].
Take that partial URL:
/radio/aod/shows/rpms/radio2/soundsixties.rpm
Then add
http://www.bbc.co.uk on the beginning of it. Now, copy that, then in Orbit Downloader Click the New button & select a place to download the file to, which it should do pretty quickly, as it's basically a kind of playlist. Open that file in a text editor, e.g. Notepad, & copy the whole URL from there, including the long string of what looks like gibberish. Now go back to Orbit & download this file. Then find something to do for a couple of hours, as it looks like either the BBC's server is really busy, or else they're limiting it to only about 5-6KB/s!
