I finally was able to start converting my .rm files to .mp3 with your help. I ended up using the above Perl Audio Converter, along with Mplayer & Helix, and lets not forget all codecs. I added the required command + options to the end of my daily mirror script. I am happy that now my box automaticlly pulls the daily .rm files, and converts them to .mp3's without any hassle. FYI: The box in questions is a Pent 200 w/ 96 Megs of Ram. The conversion time is long, but steady ;-) Kind Regards, Robert De Mars > On Thu, 2007-05-17 at 21:05 -0500, Robert De Mars wrote: >> Hello, and a good day to you all.
