BBC's (Beta) Multiplatform iPlayer Downloader

I've tried the Beta BBC iPlayer AIR app (which you can find out about here). It allows UK people (or those with proxy servers) to download those iPlayer files via an Adobe air app.

This the Mac OS is are being drawn into the BBC fold. Platform agnostic is the way to go. Web apps, Adobe AIR and Microsoft Silverlight (is Silverlight available on Linux?.

A nice idea as I was sometimes having problems streaming. Alas not much good to me as my poor G5 PowerPC can't really keep up and the video is laggy (their specs suggest Intel Macs only). I hear there is some programme found here that can download files which you can play in quicktime - so don't have to use the air app to play the files, haven't tried it yet.

I guess it works for Linux too? I don't know, hope so.

A dull post. Doh.

Amazon.co.uk sells mp3 Downloads

At last, yay!

If you look at the Amazon homepage under Music then MP3 Downloads (Not going to link directly to the page as Amazon has those strange links that go on forever and I don't know if they expire or whatever), there it is.

I am having a look around. They have some Mixel Pixel, I am thinking of dl'ing something.

And no it isn't photoshopped.
