Funny that you mention that, actually CodecBuddy is worse, and crosses a line
which I would never cross with any use of autodownloader:
1) It downloads non-free code!, not content but code!
2) It only does that for mp3, for for example divx, it takes you to a place
   where you can buy non free codecs for this from fluendo. So to quote you:
   'I suppose if you actually had to go out and buy something in order to
   make xu4 useful then that would be unacceptable' That actually happens with 
   CodecBuddy! (AFAIK).
