############  Okay, here's a sample run. 
############  I heard that there was a documentary about
############  The Pixies on BBC Radio 1. Let's find it:

############  "-1" specifies "Radio 1". You can edit the file and set "RADIO=radio1" to make
############  it the default.
############  "grep pixies" searches for the word "pixies".

$ ./bbc.sh -1 list|grep pixies
pixies_doc : Time For Heroes: 
The Pixies

############  So let's download it.... Again "-1" for "Radio 1", and we've got the name
############  of the file, now: "pixies_doc".

$ ./bbc.sh -1 pixies_doc
Programme: pixies_doc on radio1
Getting schedule ...
pixies_doc : Time For Heroes: The Pixies
- QOTSA's Josh Homme charts the return The Pixies.

############  Confirmation of the programme, good. Yes, that's what I wanted.
############  Now get ready for a long wait. This programme is 30 minutes, 
############  so it will take 30 minutes to download.

###########  But it's not over yet... that pixies_doc.dump file is okay if
###########  you've got RealPlayer, but it won't work on an MP3 Player. 

Converting audio dump to WAV...
-rw-r--r-- 1 foo foo 320M 2007-01-24 23:40 pixies_doc.wav

########### Wow, that 11Mb .dump file became a 320Mb WAV file
########### Aaargh, this can't be good? Well, WAV isn't the format you want.
########### We want an MP3 file. Got lame installed? Good....

Converting WAV to MP3...

########### And that's it. We've got a file called pixies_doc.mp3 which
########### we can keep forever (or 30 days, I think the law says).
########### Of course, if don't have BBC License, then don't even think
