Rip and Convert Ram to MP3

Are there any freeware software that can rip an audio stream ram file and convert it to the highest quality mp3..

Shareware is ok but it has to be like really good. I prefer freeware tho.

You would be better off to capture the stream in it's native format, "RM", and then transcode to MP3.  It you want to capture and transcode in real time, Winamp (freeware) can do it with appropriate plugins.

This a bit hokey, but never mind.

I wrote a little batch file to post-process my streambox downloaded realaudio files. It relies on using
a) Streambox VCR
b) mplayer
c) an command-line mp3 encoder (I use helix mp3, but gogo or lame work).

May well need Windows 2000 or later for the extended syntax on 'for'.

Save it in the same directory as the streambox vcr.exe and change the paths for mplayer and helix. Here it is:

Code: [Select]
rem @echo off
find ".ra" filelist.vpl | find /V "//" > convertlist.txt
for /F "usebackq skip=2 delims=" %%L in (convertlist.txt) do "c:\program files\mplayer\mplayer.exe" -vo null -vc null -ao pcm:waveheader "%%L" & "c:\program files\helix\hmp3.exe" audiodump.wav "c:\Converted Music\%%~nL.mp3" -U2 -X2 -B64 -HF
del audiodump.wav
del filelist.vpl
start "c:\Converted Music\"
