Bashpodder !

I’ve been recently hooked to downloading and listening to podcasts in my recently bought 30 gig Ipod video..mostly technical but lotsa of them. Bashpodder is a kick ass project which makes downloading podcasts a walk in the park.

Just download the below 3 files,

bashpodder.shell
parse_enclosure.xsl
bp.conf

Chmod the file bashpodder.shell to give it execute permissions since this is the script that does all the fetching/downloading of the podcasts from the URL’s that have been configured in the sample config file bp.conf(make sure you check that file out first as it already has a few links mostly GNU/Linux related podcasts)

chmod 755 bashpodder.shell

Add your favorite podcast URL’s in the file bp.conf and you’re on your way.
./bashpodder.shell

The above script when initiated will start downloading the podcasts and sorting it in a folder with the current date. Coolness !
