my personal view - fuck no and the RM format is the one of the worst audio codecs out there today. I would rather use VQF than touch any format used by realone or the earlier versions.

you need specific, expensive software only from realmedia to do that, i dont thing you could even find it anywhere to pirate it. RM is just crappy but everyone uses it...

Streambox Ripper used to be able to do it, but RealNetworks sued the makers to have the feature removed. Of course, that doesn't mean there aren't still versions of it floating around the web, capable of converting RealMedia...

That said, converting a lossy format to another lossy format is a bad idea. It will only compound the compression artifacts, especially if the source file contains a lot of them (as RealMedia is prone to).

I know with tinra you used to be able to convert .rm movies to .avi but i dont know if or how it would work with pure sound. The program was a little confusing but i was able to make it work so it couldnt have been to hard, lol.

*for educational purposes only*

You can go to your Volume Control. Go to Preferences.. Click on Recording and choose the Sound Out or Stereo out.. or whatever it says (use common sense) .. then open up an MP3 recorder or even windows sound recorder.. Hit Record and it will record what ever is playing..

so play the RM sound.. record.. and convert..
