Title: Convert from realplayer to ots
Post by: tjthedj on January 02, 2010, 11:52:19 AM
Hello!

Is there some freeware that I can use to convert a RealPlayer file to be able to play on OTS?
OR
Can someone please send me a thousand hz tone that is one second long to use aas a time tone?

Thanks

Hi there,

Firstly, I generated a tone - it should be attached!

Secondly, I think what you'd likely need to do is find a way of getting the Real audio file onto an audio CD - then rip it. I'm not familiar with Real -> MP3 (or such) conversions. If I remember correctly, Real is usually used as a streaming type of file, so the quality may not be ideal.

The only other thing you could try (as I have done in the past) is to play the file, and re-record it in something like Audition or Sound Forge, then save that as MP3.

Hope that helps!

Kev

Wonderful, Kev.

Thanks a million! That tone will be on 24 times a day.
