However as others have said you can no longer listen to BBC national
stations by this method (local radio still works though.) I
understand get_iplayer is a Linux package so is no use for Windoze -
the only way in Windows is to go to either iPlayerRadio from the
iPlayer page, or go to the station page and select Listen now.

Use vlc or similar. The urls for the hls 320kbit 48kHz streams are all
around with a bit of searching.

Also:

As has already been pointed out, get_iplayer is NOT "only for Linux". Its
actually a set of perl scripts so can be used on any OS which can run the
relevant version of perl. The email list for get_iplayer includes people
who run get_iplayer on Windows and Macs.

And ffmpeg can now fetch hls streams. This matters more for 'TV' from
iplayer, but it is worth noting as it shows ffmpeg can get streams and
convert them for you. May take some furtling about, though, so can be
easier to have get_iplayer employ ffmpeg on your behalf. :-)
