| Hi, I am trying to convert a rm file to mp3 however when i click convert I almost immediately get the alert telling me the file has converted. The converted file is only zero k.
I followed this guide: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060906153448633 any ideas? | ||

I would suggest a different route for conversion of this audio file: Use an audio capture program that records to file anything that is played on your Mac, while playing the file in Real Player. There are several such capture programs available, Audio Hijack and WireTap being two of them. Neither one is free anymore, but the latter has a 30 day full featured trial period. | ||
