This is almost off topic, but will be run on a Slackware box, so here goes. Does anyone know of a program that can convert real audio (.rm) files into .mp3 format. I do not run a GUI, so it would need to be run from the shell. I keep an audio archive for a church. Basicly the church makes available a daily broadcast, and stores them on their website for 7 days. After 7 days, the newer files bump the older one off. For reasons unknown, I offered to mirror the site, and maintain an archive of all the files. The church broadcasts are in .rm format. Several years have gone by since I setup the archive, and I was starting to wonder if anyone ever used it. In the past week, I have received several requests for the files in .mp3 format. Ideally, I would like my machine to download the files daily (as it currently does), and then have them automaticly converted to .mp3? Any thoughts on this would be grand. Thanks!
