Downie Video Downloader Gets AppleScript Support

Hey Folks,

I'm really happy to see that Downie has gotten AppleScript support.

http://software.charliemonroe.net/downie.php

At $19.95 U.S. it's not cheap, but I've found it consistently gives me a somewhat better quality vid/audio experience than some of the other software I've used (including the command-line utility `youtube-dl`).

I plunked-down the money a couple of years ago and made it my go-to vid downloader somewhere around a year ago.

The recently added AppleScript support makes this even more of a no-brainer.

The developer Charlie Monroe is very responsive to feedback.

Best Regards,
Chris
