So if I go to terminal and do a curl on your URL:
curl http://pipedreams.publicradio.org/rafiles/shows/2003/0330.smil
and wade through the dozen or so lines I find this URL:
rtsp://mprrm.publicradio.org/5559/pipedreams/shows/20030803_pipedreams.rm
If I go into VLC and Open Network (command-N) and paste that in it seems
to start playing. Seems to drop in and out, just like the old days.

which seems to be the actual content.

so here's the file it points to.

I'd hate to dig out my old xp machine and real audio but would like to have a
copy of this file to keep around.

the files are apparently still current and I tried to get it to play with vlc
but you're probably right about the ram file being a pointer and I don't know
how to tell vlc to go get the source.
Any help would be appreciated.

I thought .ram files were just pointers to the actual media files with various
settings like playlist or looping. So any tool would need to download the
source files first that are pointed to by the .ram file. Do these .ram files
still work since they might point to servers that are long gone. Supposedly VLC
can play .ram files so if you can get them to play in there you might be able
to get it to store the streamed media.

Hi all!
I have some real audio files ".ram" files that I'd like to convert to something
playable these days. Does anyone know of an app that will do this or let me play them so
I can record them?
Thanks,
Jim
