rm to mp3?

2000-07-11 Thread Kenneth Scharf
Does anyone know how to convert a .rm file to an mp3
format?  I have downloaded several real audio .rm
files (I can play them on the linux realplayer) but I
would like to convert them to mp3 format.  Any ideas?

Hello Kenneth,

I asked this question as well to this list a couple of months ago and
was advised to use paudio - here is a quick description. It will allow 
you to save the sound to a wave file and then you can use your favourite
encoder to convert it to a mp3 file.

Title:  paudio
Version:0.1
Entered-date:   13JAN98
Description:paudio, or /proc/audio, is a file that
when read from, will return the data that is
currently being written to the audio device
(/dev/audio or /dev/dsp).  This is useful if an
audio application doesn't allow you to save an
audio file.  Note that to use this effectively,
a moderate knowledge of Linux modules is needed,
as well as a moderate knowledge of digital audio
techniques.  Feel free to email me with
questions (although I gaurentee no answers!).
