Since I am partially deaf, I prefer to hear my downloads in mono. Can get_iplayer download/convert episodes in mono?

This entails re-encoding the audio of a downloaded file, so it will slow down get_iplayer noticeably. For radio programmes, add to your command line. For TV programmes, use with the same value. For 320kbps downloads from Radio 3, you may wish to add to . The default re-encoding bit rate is around 128k, which is good enough for any other programmes. The options above instruct ffmpeg (when re-muxing the raw download file into an MP4 container) to use its built-in AAC audio codec () to downmix the two stereo input audio channels into one output channel ().

Thanks for quick reply, I will give it a try
