Re: [ARSCLIST] Converting Real Audio to wav

Hi Brandon:

I forgot to chime in with RAWAVRecorder. It's out there on a few download sites still. Works fine 
with Win98. Win2K and WinXP. I don't do Vista so no idea if it works on it. The drawback is it plays 
the RA file in real time (no pun intended).
