There is no need pay for a program to do this... the difference between a .ra and a .ram file is that one hold the audio, and the other points to the one that holds the audio. In fact, the only information that a .ram file holds, is a URL to a .ra file. So, if you're paying $20 for a program that "converts" .ram's to .ra's, youre paying for a program whose abilities you could do yourself in about three steps with notepad or any other text editor. All you need to do is save the .ram file to your desktop; open with a text editor, look at the URL in the file, and cut and paste that into your browser. That URL is the address to the audio file you'd usually be streaming. You can then save THAT file to your desktop, run it thru your favorite audio manipulation program, like SoundForge or CoolEdit, and you've got yourself a manipulatable soundwave. Or you could just save the .ra's on your hard drive, and play them back at your convenience. They'll still play in the Realplayer without being streamed.
