I used get_iplayer --get --amode iphone; this produces a 128kbps mp3; then I used DirectWav mp3 splitter (which cuts the mp3 rather than decoding and reencoding) to trim the useless ends. On last week's BBC R7 update this gave me a file lacking the audible (if slight) high-end flutter that the low bitrate Real Audio stream has by default.

Apologies for the double post, but to make sure nothing is mistransmitted: I use the iphone mode to download, rather than taking it to wav. I can't remember how to do that as command line: I have it preset in my options.

Also, I actually use mp3DirectCut, which is freeware - the name escaped me for a second. The interface is hardly intuitive, but the option you want will be there - either top and tail the ends, or highlight the program and "Save selection as".

Here's the March 2003 JAM from the 13/07/2009 repeat as I have obtained it: http://www.mediafire.com/?kdkmwjzqytd

I hope this is useful, though I can't guarantee it.
