102191 2002-11-28 23:06:00 Hi All....I currently have some music files which the extension is .ram. the file is named as example (E0799-38.ram) These files can play in Real Player but I want to be able to use them in Win Amp and also burn then to CD as Mp3's. Any suggestions how I might go about this. I have tried to just change the extention and that doesn't work...thanks in advance. Greengrass (2624)
102192 2002-11-28 23:32:00 The files would have to be re-encoded to another format, but because they are RAM which is a streaming-media-designed format, you may have trouble finding software that'll do it for you. I'm sure it's possible though!

Renaming simply wont work in this case sorry... :)

Cheers

I also have done this by playing the streaming sound in RealPlayer or Win medi player, and at the same time recording the sound as an mp3 in MusicMatch. It is tricky. You need to hope the stream is not interrupted, and set up the inputs/outputs correctly in the play control, and MM recording source settings. But it can work..

Cheers.
