Re: [ARSCLIST] RealAudio to WAV

Hi list,
I have a piece of audio that unfortunately only exists in RealAudio
format which I need to incorporate into a restoration which is
otherwise WAV. I saw some RealAudio to mp3 conversions applications,
but does anyone have a suggestion on how to transfer RealAudio to WAV
with minimal further harm to the file.
RealNetworks is quite insistent on protecting their decoder. There are
unapproved products which decompress to WAV and I have downloaded some
to try, but lacking time for experimentation I simply play the file to
capture it (on a PC) with TotalRecorder.
It makes little sense to me to seek "minimal further harm" when
recompressing to another lossy format - perhaps I misunderstand. At any
rate, the process I use is quick enough for most purposes and does not
rely on uncertain software.
