Assuming it doesn't sound like fuzz when you play it normally, you could record it with Total Recorder instead. But I wouldn't try encoding it to mp3 after that because it would sound awful. Realmedia and mp3 are both lossy formats and they discard different frequencies. So if you transcode from one to the other you will be losing twice as many frequencies. To keep the same quality as the Realmedia you would need to leave them as wavs (or use flac).
