I thought Listen Again only kept programmes for a week?

Anyway, Listen Again is streaming audio. There isn't a file to
download. But if you can hear it, of course you can record it.



"Listen Again" is on the BBC site for months if not years. The
facility to download the file direct to iTunes as a podcast disappears
a week. I don't know why the BBC do this but no doubt they have their
reasons.

I have recorded it from the audio using a program called Replay AV but
I have to run the recording for the full real time duration of the
programme, about 45 minutes.

I thought there must be a way of downloading the .rm file as it must
sit somewhere on the BBC hard drive.

I see there are three types of MP3 available, 32kbps,64kbps, and
128kbps. What is the best one to record it in for a speech program?
How many Mb should a program of 43 minutes take up of hard drive
space?

Please pardon my ignorance.
