Some iplayer programmes not showing

[Chris J Brady]

Scattered through the BBC website are other audio programmes such as RM or RAM. This is an example. 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/shropshire/content/articles/2007/03/17/abolition_sound_the_jubilee_feature.shtml

get_iplayer will not get it. 

However you can do a right mouse click and download the RAM file. 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/shropshire/realmedia/2007/03/sound_the_jubilee.ram

Then open it into Notepad and you'll find the URL to the actual file. Copy and then paste this into Orbit.

rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/shropshire/2007/03/sound_the_jubilee.rm

You can then open this RM file into Audacity and then convert it to MP3 etc.

 now.
 
 Many thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
 
 Kind regards

 the Somerset Central Railway. Examining towns and stations
 along the way, Betjeman laments the tragic decline of steam
 railways. The journey culminates with a stroll around
 Highbridge Wharf, sentimentally narrated with a poem that
 sums up Betjeman's despair; 'Highbridge Wharf, your hopes
 have died...'.
