because as others have pointed out, the raw data downloaded from the bbc is aac. you can't improve the quality by removing compression, all this will do is occupy more space on your disk. All get_iplayer does by default is re-package the (unchanged) aac data in an mp4 file. If you ask get_iplayer for mp3 then whether it was built to transcode directly from the original aac or via flac would make no difference whatsoever. jon _______________________________________________ get_iplayer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/get_iplayer
