    Convert Real Audio RAX to mp3

    Hi,
    I checked the codecs downloads and was unable to find one that will convert .rax to mp3, etc...

    Is this available?

    Thanks!

    For information on .rax files please see this thread:
    As part of the continuing Real Networks attempt to force you to buy their premium player, it would appear that there is no way to convert RAX files to MP3's without sending them $. Is there a method to convert these to other formats out there, somewhere? Note - I even tried burning to CD but that fails (low-quality RN


    In some cases, .rax files may be unencrypted and can be converted using dBpowerAMP Music Converter (dMC) and the RealAudio Decoder codec (available from Codec Central at the top of the page, you will also need RealPlayer or RealAlternative). You may need to change the file extension from .rax to .ra or .rm. In other cases the files may be encrypted (protected against copying). In those cases, if you can play the music, you can record it off of your sound card using dMC Auxilary input or you may be able to burn these tracks to cd and then re-rip them to whatever format you like.

    You will probably not be able to tell in advance whether an .rax file is encrypted or not.

    Best wishes,

      Just wanted to let you know that the aux input does work in this case. Just play the file through real or rhapsody and aux record to whatever format you want. You just have to listen to the file then you can do what you want with it.

        ...and you thought this was important enough for a nearly 2 year old thread?

        Thread locked. Please don't revive old, dead threads when the topic has been brought up far too many times.
