Thank-you.  It's taken me ages (illness) to get around to doing more with
this but I have now got at least basic functions working.


In the instructions at that URL, I was a bit surprised not to see a
configuration step for the filepath for 'lame'; is that required?  And VLC?

I was also puzzled somewhat (though this applies to suggested commands
listed all over the place) at whether or not there's a difference between,
say

  get_iplayer --prefs-add --output "H:\Gip"

and

  get_iplayer --prefs-add --output="H:\Gip"


that is, when does one need to provide an "=" between a parameter's name and
its value?  It doesn't seem to be as straightforward as 

  get_iplayer ... --something --somethingelse

working for boolean parameters and 

  get_iplayer ... --andsetthis="tothat"

being required when there is a value.
