Hi Mo,
I tried this.
First, when selecting the options file, it asks me how I want to open the
folder, giving me choices from Notepad through to internet explorer (of all
things. Opening it in word, I hear 'Picture view' and nothing else. Opening
it in Notepad or Wordpad, the only text I can find in the entire file says:
output D:\documents\downloaded Radio
I thought a recent update of Get_Iplayer no longer allowed you to convert as
part of the download process.
So, where do I find the text to edit, to change the "M4A" to "MP3" as you
described. Doesn't look as though it's in the options file I found within
.get_Iplayer
Thanks,
Clive

Hi Keith.
You would need to edit your options file. It's in the .get_iplayer folder in
your user profile folder. My options file looks like the following.
fileprefix <name> - <episode>
commandradio ffmpeg -i "<filename>" -c:v copy -c:a libmp3lame -b:a 128k
-id3v2_version 3 -write_id3v1 1 -y "<dir>/<fileprefix>.mp3" && del
"<filename>"
nopurge 1
subdir 1
This tells get_iplayer to convert each file it downloads from M4a to MP3.
I hope that helps?
Cheers,
Mo.

Dear all,
I use Get_iplayer a great deal, but the saved files are in M4A, but I wish
for MP3.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Best wishes,
