How to record Rhapsody .rad stream?
You can download the .rad files from RealOne Rhapsody, but the the only program that can play .rad files is the Rhapsody player. And this player will only play streams from the Internet. You can't play downloaded files with it.
Because there are no alternative players the are only 2 ways of making Rhapsody files playable:
- Make Rhapsody think your downloaded file is streamed. Haven't seen any implementation of this method yet.
- Use Direct sound recording software.
As for Direct sound recording software
Replay Music
works better than any other program with Rhapsody. They have implemented special track split detection that works 100% of the time, and the auto tagging works really well, too.
Replay Music is free to try!
If you experience any problem with new Rhapsody 3.0 music service, please download Rhapsody 2.1.
