For similar reasons I made a change to my copy of get_iplayer to add the switch 
'--mp3'  When set, it uses ffmpeg to transcode the downloaded file from aac to 
mp3 and then adds the tags as normal.  Would there be interest in me posting 
the changes so that they can be included in the official version?
