I'm trying to get a backlog of "the moral maze" to listen to on a
trip. The episodes are available to listen to online (e.g.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03gg7nh) but when i try and download
these, even if i use --type=all, I get told the PID doesn't exist in
the cache. Is there a way to fetch these?

'~/Downloads/1.mp3' --aactomp3 --type=all
