Importing from Real Player to ITunes

[homesick rae]

Hi,

Does anyone know if this can be done? If so how?

I'd like to import part of my Real Player library to ITunes and someone told me it CAN be done, but I am not so sure!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

HR

If you're using a Mac, try Audio Hijack (http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/). You can trial it for free, but it only gives you ten minutes of recording time. After that you can register it for $16. Extremely useful tool - it can record any audio on, or streaming through, your computer into pretty much any useful format.

Not sure about what to use if you have a PC, but I think Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/) might to do the trick. I'm sure one of the Windoze users will be able to advise :O

Make sure you set iTunes to import the audio format of your choice first (AIFF or MP3, etc.) Have fun!

Jx ;)

I'm just downloading the latest version of realplayer (10.5, with Harmony) and it has a link to iTunes built it (though their shop only works for US customers :rolleyes: ) It may have what you're looking for...

As I understand it, HR was trying to convert existing RP content into an iTunes-compliant format - not quite sure how installing RealPlayer could help with this?

As far as the Real/Apple DRM battle goes, I'm not up to speed on the latest status (it's been running for over a year now), but you can bet that Apple will continue to disrupt Real's Harmony/Helix 'trojan horse' overtures in upcoming releases of iTunes. There is absolutely no love lost between these two companies - and Apple has done it to them before :E
