As an alternative, you could uninstall RealPlayer and install Real Alternative, or the classic media Player, mentioned in the article I referenced earlier. Winamp also has some limited conversion abilities with .RAM files (although RealPlayer seems to have disabled Winamp from doing it in more recent iterations.) Trial and error.

With the Free RealPlayer, you can't exactly play the files one after the other with no gaps. However, i would 'line them up' by starting them and then, when one file had opened, opening the next file, and so on. After that, you could press alt-f, followed by the number in reverse order down from the last file of the first of those (most recent) files. Then if you were recording four files, the first one would be: alt-f, 4. you could use goldWave to tidy up the blank bits between the files. A lot of work, or a labour of love!----- Original Message -----

Hi Flor, Thanks for both emails. The clarification is appreciated, as I thought that may be the case. I didn’t see .ram in the conversion options in total Recorder nor nor Goldwave.I probably wouldn’t pay for a program, as I don’t think I’d use it verymuchI’ll connect my Book Port to the computer, and do a real time recording.Can you configure WMP to start another recording when the previous one finishes? If I can I’d select all recordings. And just work away. Thanks, Eamonn [vicsireland] Re: audio file conversion question Flor Lynch to: vicsireland29/02/2012 18:15Sent by: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Please respond to vicsireland In the meantime, try Google .ram to .mp3 - and, among the results, visit: http://swen.antville.org/stories/735413/ - which tells of free (or almost free) conversion methods from .ramfiles to .mp3. there is also another program, paid, called Switch, whichmay be good for this. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flor Lynch" <florlync@xxxxxx> To: <vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, February 29, 2012 5:57 PM Subject: [vicsireland] Re: audio file conversion question Eamonn,Looks as if these files cannot be converted into other media file types,as the option is unavailable in RealPlayer when you play one. Are you prepared to [pay, either for one of the paid-for RealPlayer Plus products or for something like SoundTaxi. they do mention copyright on the page, too. ----- Original Message -----From: "Eamonn X.

If World War II news bulletins are your thing, you may like to check out: http://www.royalsignals.org.uk/ There are some news bulletins up there in RealPlayer streaming audio format, which I assume is .ram. There are also recordings of William Joyce, Lord Haw Haw! They play fine on my pc, but I’d like to transfer them to the Book Port. I transferred them directly, but got an unsupported file format message.
