Following the demise of Radio Downloader, I have been trying the PVR

at all the help I can find, I'm struggling with configuration.

I can find many command line functions to use with 'bare' get_iplayer
but cannot find any way to integrate these with the PVR front end.

My immediate requirement is to change the default .m4a to mp3 for radio
downloads. Looks like 'mode' is what I need, but how do I get the PVR
to use my preference?

I would be grateful for any tips.

The modes option is not what you're looking for. That only determines the stream that is downloaded - nothing to do with any conversion after download.

The Web PVR is intended for the general use, and it doesn't support all the many options of the CLI. However, the Web PVR will (mostly) obey preferences set from the CLI. In this case you you need to set the preferences for MP3 conversion from the CLI, then launch the Web PVR and run your downloads.

See this for general info on setting preferences:

Then see this for the aactomp3 and mp3vbr options that govern AAC->MP3 conversion:
