For what it's worth, the iPlayer uses AAC audio for all radio (in an M4A
wrapper) - if your media player can handle M4A, and if it's vaguely modern
it should, then I urge you to keep the original quality AAC downloads.
If you ask get_iplayer to convert them to MP3, it will download the
compressed AAC then *recompress* to MP3 yielding inferior quality audio.

Simply add the "aactomp3" flag to the command line (ie add --aactomp3). You
can apply this automatically by editing the "options" file in the folder
"C:\Users\All Users\get_iplayer" and adding the line:
aactomp3 1
to the file.
Hope this helps,
Chris
