When I downloaded some files from the World Service iPlayer radio pages on Monday, both files came down as low bitrate AAC+ files (AAC HE with SBR). If your Winamp install doesn't have a compatible AAC+ decoder installed you'll need to upgrade it. No idea what WebPVR Manager is doing to the files (if anything); it may be expecting MP3 files from get_iplayer - which it will create if you use no commandline switches whatsoever - but bear in mind WS material is AAC+ by default as their ingestion process into the iPlayer system differs from the main domestic content. VLC and Foobar2000 can play AAC+ files out of the box. _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
