The ability get_iplayer has to convert from aac to mp3 is somewhat of an anomoly. It's been generally stated in the past that using a more specialist piece of software to perform the conversion would be preferrable. That said, there exists the ability to control the bitrate of the conversion via the --mp3vbr command. Commands range from 0 to 9 (0 being the 'best'). More info can be found in this forum thread: https://squarepenguin.co.uk/forums/topic/radio-bitrates/ ...and in the Options Wiki (ctrl+f 'mp3vbr'): https://squarepenguin.co.uk/wiki/options/ If you can't view those pages for any reason, the relevant text relating to mp3vbr from the Options Wiki is: --mp3vbr Set LAME VBR mode to N (0 to 9) for AAC transcoding. 0 = target bitrate 245 Kbit/s, 9 = target bitrate 65 Kbit/s (requires --aactomp3). Applied only to radio programmes. A full example command might look like: get_iplayer --type=radio --get "Late Junction" --aactomp3 --mp3vbr=0 _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
