Convert MP3 to RA/RM

[thebruiser]

Anyone know of any freeware to convert MP3 to RA/RM files?

Unfortunately the free basic one will not perform the conversion. I guess I should have mentioned I have the free Real Producer.

Why won't it? I'm not a big fan of RealMedia, so I don't have it installed to try myself.
Maybe converting to a WAV first, and then RM?

I guess Real wants people to pay for that privilege. LOL Well, the files are already in MP3 format, and yes, it will convert WAV to Real, but what would I need to convert the existing MP3 files to WAV? A friend of mine who lives several hundred miles away says he prefers to receive RA files rather than MP3. He said something about them being easier for his pc to process. I don't know, but I thought MP3 would be fairly easy.

What version do you have? Conversion works with REALPRODUCER 10 basic for me.

I've got Real Producer 10 basic, and when I tried to convert MP3 to RA, it says this version will not do that. Maybe I need to reinstall and see if that works.

OK, I uninstalled and reinstalled Real Producer 10 basic, and it works this time. I do remember the first time I downloaded it, some kind of "hiccup" occurred during the downloading. Maybe that caused it.
