Bebop, Your post, “I am looking for a software that will convert from Real Audio (.ra)to MP3 Files”. I presume that Ra (real audio) is what you hear from a tape recorder or radio and I know you asked for a free program but I found that the program I gave you gives you options you do not get with most of the free programs.
I records from any audio source including the computer -- making wave file for a CD or MP3 file for an Ipod or MP3 player. My results have been great. There is also a program that will take your MP3 recorded songs and adjust the play back volume so that the are equal. If you are using a program just to convert to wave so that you can make CDs and have no reason to convert to MPs format then maybe my program is not right for you.
