nds shows you how to create a GIP preset to convert a file to MP3 after
downloading and then how to use it on GIP's command line.
See the section headed "Create a preset named aactomp3 that can be used
to extract the audio from a TV or radio programme and transcode to MP3
format at best variable bit rate (VBR):".
There are instructions for both Linux and Windows.
