Greetings. I want to start by saying that I've been quite happy overall with the capture of Internet radio streams I've been able to do using Replay A/V. But I have encountered one massive obstacle: the inability to listen to streams that represent stations transmitting in .RM (Real Media) format.
Just this past Saturday evening, I attempted such a recording: a program that was to last for nine hours from a radio station (KUNI-FM of Cedar Falls, Iowa) that feeds to the Internet using Real Media. My Replay A/V recording broke this feed up into each individual hour, leaving me with nine separate .RM files and nine separate [converted] MP3 files to match them. Everything seemed to be captured. But the mP3 files were not playable with any program, and the .RM files will play for less than two seconds in RealPlayer before freezing. I am using Windows XP Pro SP3 with what I believe to be the newest version of Replay A/V (Ver. 8.52C) and a fairly recent version of the free RealPlayer (11.0.4). I also tried to convert my .RM files to MP3 using the fully licensed SoundTaxi 3.7.7, but each conversion attempt failed. Is Real Media incompatible with Replay A/V? Or do I just need to purchase an advanced version of RealPlayer? Kind regards, -Kane To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
