But I already have Linux tools for downloading. It's just a matter of finding the right link to feed in.

Ah, didn't realise you were in Linux.

Odd, I have Firefox set to send source code to PSPad, & when I told it to list search results for .rpm it only showed 4; 5 if I do it without the preceding ".".

Well, I'm running Proxomitron, which adds 6 lines to the beginning of every page, so for me it's line 214, but yeah.

To give:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/shows...undsixties.rpm

Then I copy and paste it into my Linux gizmo.
What happens then is that Real Player opens up and as the programme is playing it dumps a stream onto my HDD as a wav file. In real time.
Then afterwards I can change it to mp3 or whatever.

So it's do-able.

Ah, well that isn't an option for me, as I refuse to install RealPlayer on my machine. It would take a rather compelling reason for me to even install just the codec [Real Alternative].

I was hoping for a piece of silver-bullet software that would hook it out for me.

But it's getting better, thanks for the "rpm" pointer/clue.

Well, I don't know if it'll still work when Orbit's used under Wine, but try going to the Tools menu & select Grab++. In Windows, when you have the Grab++ window open, if you refresh [or just load if it was already open] the page with the media file on it it should show up in a list of resources for that page in the Grab++ window, as it captures their URLs. If it's going to work you'll most likely see the file you want listed after it starts playing in the page. No idea if it'll work under Wine though.
