However, it didn’t work for me right off the bat. For some reason, the file size in my iTunes library didn’t match the file size reported by Banshee. Also, the database format appears to have changed slightly since the script was originally written. Here is a copy of the modified script, which just has two changed lines of code. Hopefully this is helpful to somebody and be sure to thank the author of the original script if it is!

1. Copy and paste the code below into a file called ”’download.py”’. Save it in your home directory.
2. Start up the terminal (/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app), type ”’python download.py”’ and hit enter.
3. All of the shows (up to #342) will be downloaded to your home folder. Shows #5 and #8 don’t seem to exist.

#!/usr/bin/env python
from urllib import urlretrieve
import urllib2
for i in range(1,5) + range(6,8) + range(9,389):
urllib2.urlopen("http://audio.thisamericanlife.org/jomamashouse/ismymamashouse/%d.mp3" % i)
urlretrieve("http://audio.thisamericanlife.org/jomamashouse/ismymamashouse/%d.mp3" % i, "%d.mp3" % i)
print "Succesfully downloaded %d.mp3" % i

Update (Sept 12, 2009): I verified that the script still works and it goes up to episode #389 now.
