Yes thanks, I already knew how to do that, I just didn't think that there was a field for the first broadcast date, but, as Don has explained, there is. > >2) Capitalisation > > > >Is there an option to get ... > > Letter From America By Alistair Cooke > > >... instead of the default ... > > Letter from America by Alistair Cooke > > Don't you think the BBC's way of listing the programme name > is the correct > way? In formal English, yes, the rule is that ... well ... what EXACTLY? I was taught that short (what does 'short' actually MEAN in this context) words should not be capitalised. However, we can already see that this rule suffers from the disadvantage of lack of consistency - different people apply it differently. Consequently, for a long time now, I've thought it illogical and daft, even more so now that so much of our output comes from computer software, and on Linux case is significant in filenames, so the same name with different capitalisations produces different files. Really, it's both simpler and neater to capitalise the entire title and have done with it. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
