Hi Keith.
I do not have your email address. Could you please let me know what it is so
I can send the file across?
Very best wishes,
Mo.

Hi Mo,
I've pasted your line into the bottom of the file, and now I wait to see if
it works.
You are a genius at this sort of thing.
Best wishes,
Keith

Hi Clive.
I would open your file in notepad, word may mess up the formatting. Paste
the following lines at the end of the file, making sure there's no blank
line between the commands.
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>"
As long as the above command is on a blank line, it should work to convert
automatically.
Cheers,
Mo.

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.
