A filter list to show let me choose between SD or HD would have pushed the review score upwards. The main one for me was knowing the quality of the download. This is one of those apps that’s making the Essential Mac apps list despite a few issues. Missed Top Gear, download and have it on your iOS device without an expiration date in a few clicks. Having a file thats ready for all devices is beyond handy. To give you an example with just a couple of clicks I managed to bag a TV special that I missed, put it onto an SD card and play on my TV and the same file would stream to my TV via Apple TV. Īnother nice touch is the way iPlayer Automator will add shows with tags and appropriate tags to your iTunes library once the ripping is done. You still search and attempt to download but get an error message if your filters were changed and nothing matches it in your search criteria. Removing filters for types of streams I thought would of been a neat work around but alas not. It’s just a shame that when you have your search results for the given query there’s no filter option to grab HQ or desktop version of streams. Nestling inside preferences are options to grab set the quality of show you’re after.

When you’ve used something like TuneUp for Mac which pulls down album artwork it’s hard to go back. It’s a shame that show artwork isn’t pulled down just to take the final step out of tidying your iTunes shared folders. (Open plea, if you can find this radio show PLEASE email in)Īlthough it’s perhaps redundant in the time of unlimited broadband caps having Get iPlayer Automater convert the stream after downloading, place it in iTunes and add the show info and everything else, apart from the shows artwork, is a feature worth having in itself. Podcasts alongside radio shows are also supported making me wish I’d know about this when “On the Blog” a show on BBC Radio 2 was still going. The fact it does all this, then plonks things nicely in iTunes makes me wonder why I hadn’t come across this before.
