Hi Timothy,
As you know there is no simple "std" but modes such as dafstd or hafstd. 
  I mentioned I was going to try the shortcut "better" which gives both 
of these.

In fact my pvr-list entry with radiomode=better failed last night and 
gave me the 96kbps version again.  I have now downloaded using pid and 
radiomode=better and this worked.  Will check my pvr-list entry and try 
again but you are correct on file size and I can live with "better" 
shortcut.
Will also try some lower resolution options and/or run command to 
convert to mp3.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Budge.
