Thanks I found the music that I was looking for on another web site.

I was in fact able to save a track about 700kb long. The file is .ra
and I can play it with Real Player and winamp (with an additional codec)
but as yet I have been unable to convert the file to a more useful format.

However unfortunately the music has clearly been taken from a some what
scratchy record.


Yuk, that don't sound good. Er, Real audio, that really WON'T sound good.

Michael, please have a look at installing Spotify and trying it out for
yourself. If you need an invite to try the free* version just ask, I've
got a few to give.

*The free version is limited to 160 kbit/s Ogg Vorbis, but will easily
surpass what you have there.
