Lineage get_iplayer (--type=radio --raw --mode=flashaacstd1 --get NNNNNN) -> flvextract -> mp3directcut (no reencoding)

NB: 6 Music is a digital station, broadcasting on terrestrial radio with 128k MP2 @44100, Satellite at 160k MP2 @48000, and as various online streams via the iplayer interface with 128k AAC @44100. According to http://telos-systems.com/techtalk/00222.pdf page 7, 128K (VBR) AAC is by far the superior codec, even though the 160K MP2 has a higher bit rate. Therefore I have stopped using satellite captures for 6music. However theoretically according to dime rules, a 160K capture would be an upgrade if one emerges. It's crazy, but there you go. I no of no such capture in the trading pool at present.

I don't know a lot about Field Music - they come from the North East of the UK and include the Brewis brothers - but if you like XTC, or even early to mid 1970s prog, you'll find them interesting and well worth discovering. Very impressed indeed with this set.
