I believe I understand what you mean about automating the download 
process. Automating for URLs that change in seemingly random ways (and 
not by date, for example) is challenging. I have written a downloader 
app for the Rivendell automation system that ingests audio obtained via 
unpredictable RSS URL's (like those at Audioport). Let me know if you'd 
like more info on how I do it.
