Anyone know a good program that can do this conversion? I'm looking for something thats free, but all I can find are one's that have a demo version, but it will automatically clip every 10sec or so. So... any recommendations?

It is possible to simply record the audio stream live as it comes in, then save the recording as a .wav
Whether or not this works probably depends on various factors like what sound card and drivers you're using, and how the audio is routed.
On my PC, I'm able to record .ra streams with the windows sound recorder app, for example - I just have to start it and click on the record button, and it will record any audio my pc is playing. Sound Recorder isn't really ideal, because it's a very simple program and will only record a minute at a time, but there are plenty of other programs that can record audio without that kind of limitation - Windows Sound Recorder just proves its possible.
If you happen to have a Creative Live/Audigy sound card, they come with a recording app which will record for hours

Streambox Ripper is what you need... If you can still find it. Its very old (at least five years) and was banned by Real Networks because they do not permit their .ra /.ram format to be coverted.
I've still got a copy on my other PC. It also converts .ra to mp3 which is always handy. . .

Do you mean file-conversion or stream-ripping?pHz wrote:IIRC goldwave used to be able to do this too ...

Actually I had originally just wanted straight conversion, but now that I think of it, there are a few straming audio shows that would be really excellent to get to wav format.
