Another possibiility that struck me - the Sansa Fuze can play Ogg Vorbis files as well as MP3. Given those aren't encumbered with the same sort of restrictions as MP3, I image it may be supported by the installed ffmpeg (indeed, ffmpeg -codecs does show an entry for libvorbis, while there's no libmp3lame listed). Any chance of an --aactoogg option for get_iplayer as well as the --aactomp3? Also, is there a simple command-line I can use to effect a similar conversion of the m4a files get_iplayer already downloaded? Or should I just install e.g. Sound Converter.
