No they do not play, but no 'header error' or 'time out' error. They play OK (with no delay) if I use EasyTag and change a tag. OK Well the FFmpeg update fixed it for the Shuffle. The m4a files play straight off without needing EasyTAG any more.

Fast(er) transcoding from aac to mp3.

Please do bear in mind though that (from my own empirical comparisons) it seems the iPlayer just TRANScodes the original AAC audio to MP3, it's not encoded fresh from the original source audio. So if you choose the MP3 option, you'll end up with a noticeably lower quality audio file.
