jDownloader / 60 MB / M4A
The data rate of the download with yt-dlp is 96kbps while JDownloader is 48kbps - hence the difference in file size (126 vs 63MB, both are M4A). File size in the original post is 1.7 GB (as WAV).

I thought the wav file was lossy! It is not! ¿?

The wav file is exactly the 96kbps m4a file.

BBC Radio 2's highest available bitrate file is 320kb/s using AAC-LC codec (lossy). That's in the UK. I don't know about outside the UK.

Outside the UK the tool yt-dlp shows only M4A in 3 bitrates: 48, 51 and 96 kbps. Audio sample rate is 48kHz.
I've tried get_iplayer outside of the UK with just the parameter --pid m001gc26 and it results in an (at end converted) M4A file of 126 MB which is the same as the 96kbps download with yt-dlp. When get_iplayer is started with the parameter --radio-quality=high then it says only: 'INFO: Available qualities: med,low'. The wiki of get_iplayer also says: 'NOTE: By default, get_iplayer downloads the highest audio bit rate available for radio programmes. 96k is nominally the highest bit rate available to non-UK users'.

I thought that was the case for outside the UK but wasn't sure.
I use yt-dlp for a lot of stuff. I think the reason I switched over to it from youtube-dl was because it can download faster.
