Hi Keith.

Please drop me a note off list. I will send you a file you can paste in to the .get_iplayer folder containing the options.

Hi Mo,

Thank you for your reply.

I’ve found a file called “downward History, and am being prompted for a file type to open this.

I choose Notepad, and have pasted your lines at the bottom.

On using Get_iplayer and downloading a file, it is still not in MP3.

What am I doing wrong, please?

Any further help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Best wishes,

Keith

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.

    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.
