Yes, it does: Mplayer! Install the mplayer port with support for realaudio. The following will convert a ra stream (or any other audio stream mplayer supports) and save in wave format to the file audiodump.wav: mplayer file.ra -ao pcm From there, you can use lame to convert it in the mp3 format. I have attached a script, that converts all *.wma files in a directory into mp3s, but it should be easy enough to adopt to your situation. I once found it via google; there are credits for the authors in the script. Simon
