Command line utility mencoder can convert .rm files to .mp3 . To convert to .mp3 using Lame mp3 codec use:
mencoder input_file.rm -ovc frameno -oac mp3lame -of rawaudio -lameopts cbr:br=128 -o output_file.mp3


You can download mencoder binaries from oss.netfarm.it/mplayer-win32.php

Codec DLLs it needs you can get from the RealPlayer directory or from www.mplayerhq.hu download page (see essential codec pack)

If you don't like command line, get the front-end from mewig.sf.net

If you need batch conversion or/and a pleasant user interface just get a commercial video converter (http://all-streaming-media.com/convert-audio-video-files/) like Replay Converter (http://all-streaming-media.com/convert-audio-video-files/Replay-Converter-Audio-video-conversion-software-Windows.htm). It is free to try so you don't have to buy before making an opinion about the video conversion utility.
