Is there a way to turn RealPLayer files into listenable mp3s that will play on an audio player? Asking for Santa.

The only way I know of for sure is to play the real file and record it using audacity, then convert the audacity file to mp3.

If there's a simpler way, I would love to hear it. I can't believe anybody still uses Real anymore, but sometimes it's a problem.

Does this help?

Zamzar should work, maybe?

Problem solved by a kindly Secret Santa. Thanks all!

Can you share the secret santa tip since I have the same question? Or did Santa ask you not to tell anyone?

I actually don't know how Santa did it. I sent Santa files and Santa somehow converted them.
