Ah!  Windows 7 (64-bit)?  No problem, you don't need to know where the
options file is, because Get Iplayer does!  Run Get Iplayer and at its
command prompt enter the line below:

get_iplayer --prefs-add --mp3

which will add the line "aactomp3 1" to your options file, creating
the file if it doesn't exist.  Thereafter, even without restarting Get
Iplayer, your radio downloads will be transcodes to .mp3 after
downloading.
