(this problem is unrelated to the rest of the thread in which it was posted)

what seems to be happening is that the MP3 tagging library (MP3::Tag)
can't rename its temporary file to replace the mp3 file that was
downloaded.  Quite why this is happening I don't know, but I have a
couple of guesses:

- make sure that there's no Explorer window showing files in your
iPlayer Recordings folder, and try a radio download.  If it works,
then Explorer is getting in the way. Possibly.  I've had problems with
Explorer opening files to do I-don't-know-what and failing to release
the file.
- try turning off your anti-virus software temporarily (yes, I *know*
this is really bad advice and a really bad idea) while downloading a
radio programme - make sure you turn it on again afterwards.  If this
fixes the problem, then get some new anti-virus software.
- oh, and make sure you're running the latest version of get_iplayer,
but I don't think it's the cause of this particular problem.

I don't use Windows with get_iplayer much, so others might be able to help more.
