CentOS - Jan 2008 - sound conversion assistance

OK, I downloaded a batch of ".rm" audio files from the net. I can play
them with mplayer or realplayer, but how can I convert them to something
else, e.g. mp3, etc.? So far haven't unearthed any tools that can both
read them and write out in another format.

Thanks!

Hello!

A little googling should get you where you need to be. You can try
the following links as well.

http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/gaming-games-multimedia-entertainment/85596-how-convert-rm-mp3.html
(mind the line wrapping)

http://linuxappfinder.com/package/pacpl (perl audio converter) I've
not used this before.

mencoder is a good tool for this I believe.
