you can use livestreamer

Code:

livestreamer "hds://http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hds/uk/high/ak/bbc_radio_somerset_sound.f4m" best -o audio.flv

Thank you, but What version do you use?

I installed the latest one from github
Livestreamer 1.12.2 Setup
Welcome to the Livestreamer 1.12.2 Setup Wizard

and run it,
c:\Livestreamer>livestreamer -version

and there's a message,
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

frankly i don't know what this can mean

the same thing happens on this
c:\>youtube-dl --version
The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log for more detail.

while rtmpdump and ffmpeg run fine

after a while I found a solution

livestreamer.exe and youtube-dl.exe run smooth under Windows XP, or maybe some 32-bit versions of Windows, i don't know

I have a 64-bit version of Windows which is Vista SP2

That is why there's an error: The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect.

side-by-side configuration is a parallel configuration of Windows 32-bit that is 64-bit

all the people who have the same thing, do the following
download from this link

MEGA works only with the newest Firefox or Chrome browser

Unpack rar archive VCR_x86_x64_13.10.2011.rar
and install VCR_x86_x64.exe

Voila! and praise the LORD
