Hi,
I've got some .ra files that I need to convert to mp3. I've tried River Past Audio Converter, but it just returns an error when ever I open it. They play in real player (tested them on a friends machine), and they play in Windows Media Player Classic after I installed Real Alternative. I've got real alternative working fine. So, are there any programs that will work with this to dump real audio files to wav or mp3? FYI, the real audio I'm working with has no DRM and is recorded from sources that are in the public domain. What I'm doing is not against any copyright laws anywhere. I've been hacking around with foobar2000 (www.foobar2000.org) to get it playing real audio, but it won't seak through the file, the playing eats nearly all my CPU, and when I select convert to ogg it does it in realtime so it takes several hours to convert a long file. Also, the end result has many skips. Any other ways? Installing winamp is not an option.
do you still have the original wav files? if so you can use CDex to convert wav to mp3 .. hth
hey, i was looking to convert ra to mp3 for ages, and i finally found something that does it. the problem is, its only free if your files are 30 seconds in length. I'm pretty sure i found it at http://www.boilsoft.com/rmtomp3/ though i'm not sure since i tried a couple of them that didn't work.
I have several hundred files, so I'm willing to pay. No, I don't still have the original wav files. I didn't encode them, and the guy who did went and died.
Well, that wasn't very nice of him, now was it? JK. The only thing I know of that will open real files like that is soundforge. Haven't tried it myself, but heard u can do so. I can tell u several programs that don't support real files. Those include cooledit, total recorder, and GoldWave.
