In case anyone has never heard this before:
http://vortex.com/rmf/daisy.ram
Bell Labs IBM 7094 Sings Daisy
Requires RealPlayer, which sucks horrifically.

Does anyone know of a way to download and save streaming RM files and then
convert them to another format?

The original 7094 didn't require RealPlayer.

If you look at other Real references on that server, you might
be able to (in Netscape terms) right-click Save-As and save
the .ram file to disk, which might contain:
pnm://streams2.vortex.com/bride-v.rm
which indicates he's running a real Real server. Doesn't the
for-pay $30 version of RealPlayer allow you to save files?
Some .ram files merely reference an .rm file via http://,
such as a .ram that contains:
http://streams2.vortex.com/rmf/daisy.rm
which would allow you to just enter that URL directly,
or save-as, and then you'd have the .rm file.

Sheer genius. But it didn't work :(

The original wasn't very good either. I just
played the RealAudio on a
friend's PeeCee, went into the mixer's Recording settings, turned on
Wave Audio alone, and dumped it to disk as a .wav, then mp3'ed it up.
No, I didn't sit in front of the computer with a microphone and a tape
deck. ;-)
I realize the original recording isn't that great, but I listened to the
two one after the other and there is a highly noticeable hiss on the MP3.
I think the sound hardware on your friend's PC sucks :)
Let me try it on my end. How did you do it? Unfortunately I'm lame and
can't figure it out :)

Going from memory here, since I'm on the C128 to-day.
Go to the Mixer control panel by double-clicking the speaker icon in systray.
Options, Properties. Click Recording.
Make sure Wave is checked.
Click Okay, make sure all other channels are muted but Wave, and then
go into Sound Recorder or whatever, start recording, and start playing the
.ram file.
That should do it. I seem to recall that not all sound cards can do this so
maybe this won't work for you, though.

Alternatively you can put a stereo plug from line out to line in on your
sound card and record from line-in and play the ram file to line out. (aka
your speakers). Getting the line level can be a pain but it is doable.

Yeah, I've tried this before and the quality is not the greatest. I'd
rather it be a pure digital conversion as opposed to being converted to
analog and then back to digital.

There are Win9x-compatible software hacks that'll do
that without the cable, too.
