First of all what is a .ram file?

From Wikipedia
Ram is a text file that contains a link to the Internet address where the Real Audio file is stored. The .ram file contains no audio data itself.

So, the ram will just point Realone Player to the actual place of the Real Audio file, and the player will stream it online.
With that out of the way, now let’s see how to download and run a ram file offline.

Let’s Go:

We will use the following file (interview) as an example for this tutorial: Rage.ram
The first thing to do is obviously download the file, then run any text editor such as Notepad.
Now simply Drag and Drop the downloaded file unto the text editor and you’ll get something like this

As you might have noticed we have a list containing 12 link to ra files, these links are the different chapters of the interview, now you’ll you have to do is copy/paste each link at a time to your Web Browser where you’ll be prompted to download the file, save the file and soon you’ll have the full audio on your computer for your offline enjoyment.

Step By Step Recap:

1- Download the Ram file
2- Open Ram file with text editor
3- Copy links in text to web browser or download manager and save

P.S: You are required to download RealOne player to be able to play Real audio files (.ra, .rm, .rmvb)
