Best youtube-dl option?
For BBC iPlayer I recommend get-iplayer. Works better than yt-dlp for this case.

Complete noob, looking for some general pointers. (Python)
Yes, that's a very well-run project. Note, in particular, the "Releases" section on the right-hand side of the page which leads to this page where you can download installation packages for popular operating systems. That's very easy for project owners to provide, but very few do.

Newbie, sorry if questions are obvious, not that tech savvy! 1. Recommended jdownloader2 to rip BBC sounds - copied link & faced with hundreds of lines, how do I identify which is music file? 2. Fed up with vinyl only albums not having digital d/l, can anyone recommend to use site to find digi copy?
For downloading from BBC Sounds - Youtube-DLG is what you want - https://mrs0m30n3.github.io/youtube-dl-gui/. Just paste the link in and it will download it. You can also use get_iplayer if you want to dabble in the command line stuff.
