# ==> What is "podcasting"?

# ==> It's broadcasting "radio shows" over the Internet.
# ==> These shows can be played on iPods and other music file players.

# ==> This script makes it possible.
# ==> See documentation at the script author's site, above.

# Make script crontab friendly:
cd $(dirname $0)
# ==> Change to directory where this script lives.

# datadir is the directory you want podcasts saved to:
datadir=$(date +%Y-%m-%d)
# ==> Will create a date-labeled directory, named: YYYY-MM-DD

# Check for and create datadir if necessary:
if test ! -d $datadir
        then
        mkdir $datadir
fi

# Delete any temp file:
rm -f temp.log

#  Read the bp.conf file and wget any url not already
#+ in the podcast.log file:
while read podcast
  do # ==> Main action follows.
  file=$(wget -q $podcast -O - | tr '\r' '\n' | tr \' \" | \
sed -n 's/.*url="\([^"]*\)".*/\1/p')
  for url in $file
                do
                echo $url >> temp.log
                if ! grep "$url" podcast.log > /dev/null
                        then
                        wget -q -P $datadir "$url"
                fi
                done
    done &lt; bp.conf

# Move dynamically created log file to permanent log file:
cat podcast.log >> temp.log
sort temp.log | uniq > podcast.log
rm temp.log
# Create an m3u playlist:
ls $datadir | grep -v m3u > $datadir/podcast.m3u


exit 0
