Hello, Henry.
I'm sorry, but I know of no guide to download the programs in MP3
directly. Personally, I have never bothered with this, simply because
the files are downloaded in M4A, which is a container for AAC. AAC is
what the BBC sends out, and changing one lossy format to another
reduces audio quality. In any case, AAC is a better format than MP3 in
all things except compatibility, and is supported by the vast majority
of players. You can, if you want MP3, use something like CDEX or NCH's
Switch application to change the format to MP3. There may also be a
way to do this in get_iplayer itself, but I'm not sure how this can be
done.
Sorry to be a broken reed on this.
Aman
