Is there any freeware to convert RM audio files to MP3 or WAV?

dBpowerAMP with the Real codec seems to work but it takes as long to
convert the file as it is long, i.e., an hour to convert an hour of
audio. I have about 50 hours worth of RM files to convert. Is there any
freeware that will do it faster?

Yup, there is! Here's what to do:

1. Download and install the latest version of WinAmp, if you don't
already have it (www.winamp.com).

2. Download and install Tara's RealAudio WinAmp plugin
(http://winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=22143).

3. Open up WinAmp's preferences, and set the output plugin to NullSoft
Disk Writer.

4. Play the RealAudio file in WinAmp, and enjoy your freshly created
WAV!

Hope this helps!

I still use WinAmp 2.91 with the Enhancer plugin:
http://www.i-adrian.home.ro/enhancer.htm

I have been using this combination for several years. Is there a free
equivalent to Enhancer that will work with the latest WinAmp?

Well, it turns out that Enhancer still works fine with the latest
WinAmp. :-)
