.ts audio file conversion?

[Mr Larrington]

In the blue corner, a recording on a Humax PVR as a .ts file, which the Babbage-Engine reckons to be an MPEG-2 video file.  In the red corner, Mr Larrington, who would like to convert said recording to something more portable - .mp3 for preference.  Getting the .ts file onto the (Windows) Babbage-Engine is not a problem as the PVR has a network connection and even speaks FTP.

The catch being that it's a recording of a radio programme.  Audacity did generate a .mp3 file when asked nicely but it was only twelve minutes long; the original programme is 45 minutes.  Teh Intarwebs, being New and Modern, seems not to be aware of the existence of radio, or else my Google-Fu is a Rubbish.

Any suggestions from Thee Panel gratefully received (preferably ones not chock-full of jargon ).

WinFF should work. Set the "Convert to" as Audio, then you can pick the preset for MP3. http://winff.org/

I have just realised that I can use get_iplayer to download the thing directly from Auntie in a more useful format

So I have.

Thanks to all for taking the trouble to reply; it may yet prove useful.
