Turn Real Media Files into MP3?

[Custard]

Hello out there.

Is there anybody who could tell me how to turn .rm - files into mp3-files? Often tried, never worked.
Thanks for helpin'!

Ok, this is the route that works for me on Linux/OS X:

1. Get the .ra file. If you open up the .ram, it'll have the url of the .ra in it.
2. Play the .ra file using mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu), redirecting output to a file:

mplayer -ao pcm -waveheader -vc dummy -vo null SRCFILE.ra

3. Encode the .wav that's created by that using LAME (http://lame.sourceforge.net)
4. Share
