Derek - the clue is in the name: --AACtomp3.  It's also worth pointing 
out that regional and local radio programmes are already encoded as MP3, 
so no need for --aactomp3 for those.  And don't use WMA downloads unless 
you can't download the Flash streams for some reason.  WMA downloads in 
real time and it can be pretty unreliable since downloads cannot be 
resumed if there is a glitch.
