Hi there

I wouldn't use the Ubuntu ppa as this isn't so often updated as the actual program.
The "manual" install is actually very easy - you can cut and paste the instructions. Note also the 18.04 LTS final will be out in a few days too so the ppa's will have been "frozen" presumably a while back.
Current version is 3.13 --- the previous version 3.12 doesn't fill the cache (can be useful ) and some other distros go back to V2.98 which is broken since the Beeb changed the way it handled programs. Version 3.12 can still download using the pid but I'd prefer the most current version of this program. Forget about the GUI version -- you need to install a lot more stuff --it's easy to search for what you want using the standard BBC iPlayer and getting the pid from the URL in the BBC iplayer when you've found the program.
Download history is usually in a hidden file starting with a . (full stop) in your download folder in your home directory. If you need to re-download a program just delete the entry from this file --saves messing around with Force and override options. !! Also you can copy your download history to a spreadsheet.
To re-name / re-order files / tracks etc etc use the excellent mp3tag program on Windows
Mp3tag - the universal Tag Editor (ID3v2, MP4, OGG, FLAC, ...)
or for Linux a similar program is Puddletag has a .deb for easy Ubuntu installation.
Puddletag - Awesome mp3tag-like Editor For Linux ~ Web Upd8: Ubuntu / Linux blog
easy to install and looks (and operates) just like the windows mp3tag
