Realplayer files on iPod?

[TheLoneMarmot]

Is there any way to put files into the iPod and iTunes using the Real Player (.ram) software? In other words, can I put songs that I've downloaded using the .ram format into my 5th generation 30 gb iPod without buying any expensive converting equipment?

I don't know if this is any help, but I created an application for the Mac, that fronts MPlayer and LAME to put realplayer streams onto the iPod. You can find it here:
