BBC now sending radio shows in AAC format instead of MP3

[Steve]

Hi Guys,
just noticed this in the last few days, and my Sansa mp3 player cant 
play AAC. I use Ubuntu Hardy which is usually quite robust in coping 
with the BBC fiddling around with formats. I did a bit of googling and 
now have a cron script running once a day doing the following:

# Move WMA files to Conversion Folder (WMA)
30 01,07,10,17 * * 1-5 mv -f /home/steve/iplayer/*.wma 
/home/steve/iplayer/WMA 2>>/tmp/wma-move.log

# Convert WMA Files to MP3
45 17 * * 1-5 /usr/bin/soundconverter -b -m audio/mpeg -s .mp3 
/home/steve/iplayer/WMA/*.wma

# Move Converted MP3 Files from WMA Folder Back to MP3 Folder
30 18 * * 1-5 mv -f /home/steve/iplayer/WMA/*.mp3 /home/steve/iplayer

This now leaves me with nice mp3's again, all you need to install is 
soundconverter.
I'm worried about this Iplayer replacement the BBC is bringing out at 
the end of March - Youview, will this sound the death knell for 
Get_Iplayer on Radio? it sure looks like it will kill the TV downloads, 
anyone heard anything?
