omg, that's what i was waiting for! just used it and it's perfect. thanks a lot!

just looked into the sources because i missed the downtempo genre. i think it would be nice to make a config file for all the genres, which then is read in buildgenrearray() in plsdownloader.java. so everybody could easily configure his/her prefered genres. i could do this for you, if you like... :-)

i have not tested on a linux platform but in principle it should work.

save the following code as plsdownloader.sh into the same directory where the plsdownloader.cmd exists and run it. it should work.
