I'm not sure if my geographical location is relevent here; I'm in
Germany. I have no problem downloading stuff in WMA format which I then
convert, but, as per the original poster, I'd prefer MP3, but besides
that everything works, so it's no big inconvenience, only a small one.

I wasn't sure if determining the above was to help with the no-MP3
issue, but I tried to download in the 3 formats listed above;
flashaaclow1 worked fine producing an AAC file, rtspaaclow1 failed
producing:
torchio$ get_iplayer --radiomode rtspaaclow1 --flvstreamer rtmpdump
--pvr xxx -o "/pub/incoming/alexis/podcasts"

which I assumed is just because I don't have VLC installed (and which
I'm happy to live without unless it is the only way to get MP3s?), and
the wma1 one also worked producing a WMA file.

I did the refresh but still my modes list is shorter than yours;
I assume this is because I am in Germany.

No, I normally run:
get_iplayer --pvr xxx -o "/pub/incoming/alexis/podcasts"
without access to flvstreamer or rtmpdump and that downloads the
WMA, which I convert to MP3. I see if I run the same command with
flvstreamer available (x)or rmtpdmp available, then I finish up with
an AAC and that downloads the WMA versions.

For MAC and Windows, I can get back to you tomorrow to confirm (no
MACs or Windows at home). For Linux, I'm an XFCE user using Totem and
double-clicking on the AAC files worked fine. I also tried loading
it in Rhythmbox, MPlayer XFMedia; all fine.
I'm unclear what component is responsible for producing MP3 format
though. I originally assumed that it was the BBC making (or not
making) media available in MP3 format, but your original reply ("Have
you tried `get_iplayer --radiomode flashaudio1` ?") has confused me
a bit :-)
You run a single command, a get_iplayer command that is, and you finish
up with MP3s? What command do you use and I'll just try that here.
Thanks for the help!
Alexis
