[Re: Mp3 from Radio]

[William Lupton]

For audio downloads I am now using "--mode flashaudio", which means that I am now getting MP3 rather than AAC.  No need to convert.

Initially the files weren't getting tagged, but that was because id3v2 wasn't installed.  See http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/get_iplayer/2010-December/000338.html.

Would there be interest in me posting the changes so that they can be included in the official version?

For myself, I could use a tool to convert from .aac to .mp3, but I would prefer to keep it simple for a friend - she tried to get Sorry I Haven't a Clue yesterday and found that it wouldn't play in her preferred player (SD card slot in an Audi A3).  Is there a --modes switch or similar that she could put at the end of the command?
